Author: Great Literature May 25, 2026 Duration: 2:11:23

Phineas Finn is the sequel to “Can you Forgive Her?” and the second novel in Trollope’s Palliser series. The eponymous hero is a young Irishman who becomes a member of the English parliament. Trollope aspired to become an M.P. himself, and he ably describes the workings of the English political scene. 

There is also a love interest, as the somewhat inconstant Phineas courts three different women: his Irish sweetheart, Mary Flood Jones; Lady Laura Standish, the daughter of a prominent Whig politician; and a lovely heiress, Violet Effingham.

This is the second of Trollope’s six “Palliser” novels. Other novels in the series are:

1 - Can You Forgive Her?

2 - Phineas Finn

3 - The Eustace Diamonds

4 - Phineas Redux

5 - The Prime Minister

6 - The Duke’s Children
