Great Britain, Oxford University Press, 1990. Reprint, Binding: Soft Cover, Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall 019281589X Paperback Paperback.Very slight shelf wear to edges of cover. Couple of small marks to back cover. Introduction by F. S. L. Lyons. Edited by John C. Whale. Illustrations by T. L. B. Huskinson.After the death of his irish wife, Phineas Finn returns to London and to the House of Commons. But though drawn back apparently irresistibly, he never approaches politics with the zest of earlier days. What Trollop describes in some of his most powerful writing, is a sad, at times almost sombre, progress towards maturity and self-wisdom. Phineas Redux (1874) is the fourth of the six Palliser novels, published between 1864 and 1880. As a group they provide us with the most extensive and telling expose of British life during the period of its greatest prestige. 387 pp.
