description: Phineas Redux is a novel written by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1874. It is the fourth book in the Palliser series and follows the story of Phineas Finn, a young Irishman who returns to London after his wife dies. Phineas, who was once a member of Parliament, is unable to secure a seat in the House of Commons due to his controversial past. However, he soon becomes embroiled in a political scandal when he is accused of murder. As Phineas tries to clear his name, he becomes entangled in a web of intrigue and deception, with his personal and political life becoming increasingly intertwined. Along the way, he meets a cast of complex and fascinating characters, including Lady Laura Standish, Madame Max Goesler, and the Duke of Omnium. Through Phineas's journey, Trollope explores themes of love, loyalty, and the corrupting influence of power. The novel is a masterful portrayal of Victorian society, with its rigid social hierarchies and political machinations. Phineas Redux is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that will appeal to fans of historical fiction and political thrillers alike.Phineas, on the other hand, made two or three great speeches every evening, and astonished even Mr Ruddles by his oratory. He had accepted Mr Ruddles's proposition with but lukewarm acquiescence, but in the handling of the matter he became zealous, fiery, and enthusiastic. He explained to his hearers with gracious acknowledgment that Church endowments had undoubtedly been most beneficent in past times.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
