It is a certainty of service to a man to know who were his grandfathers and who were his grandmothers if he entertain an ambition to move in the upper circles of society, and also of service to be able to speak of them as of persons who were themselves somebodies in their time. No doubt we all entertain great respect for those who by their own energies have raised themselves in the world; and when we hear that the son of a washerwoman has become Lord Chancellor or Archbishop of Canterbury we do, theoretically and abstractedly, feel a higher reverence for such self-made magnate than for one who has been as it were born into forensic or ecclesiastical purple.

Work 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.
