The prime minister

Description

*The Palliser Novels*, book 5: *The Prime Minister* The first plot records the clash between the Duke of Omnium, now prime minister of a coalition government, and his meddlesome wife, Lady Glencora. Whose well-intended maneuverings result in embarrassment for the Duke's office. The second plot tells the scheming of Ferdinand Lopez, a ruthless social climber who wins the support of Lady Glencora--but not her husband--for an election campaign. The straightforwardness of the structure allows Trollope to plan the vivid scenes of intensity and character conflict. The incidents of *The Prime Minister* are planned with a brilliant astuteness. Anyone who is interested in Victorian history and politics will find the novel enchanting.
