	Phineas Finn [homeschooledmedstudent.blog-city.com] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Trollope apparently wished to enter Parliament, but never quite succeeded; so he always includes at least one characters whose whole goal in life is to get into Parliament, and make a good speech there.
		In this book, Phineas Finn is from Ireland, so there's a slight discussion of the abuse of Irish tenants too.
		Two of the political leaders in Phineas Finn are thus characterized: the Radical one wanted to do everything exactly in the style of the United States, and he was a staunch enemy of the Liberal man, who wanted to follow every revolutionary style of the Continent.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Phineas Finn, the Irish Member
		As Phineas becomes disgusted with the dishonest rhetoric of parliamentary hacks whose only concern is to keep their party in office, he yearns for the independence he cannot afford.
		Though Phineas is attracted to Marie and though marriage to her would enable him to retain his seat in Parliament without sacrificing his independence, Phineas remains true to Mary.
		Though Phineas Finn, as we have seen, does not use self-contained subplots, Trollope links the story of Phineas’s political involvements, the novel’s primary focus, to the story of his romantic adventures, its secondary focus, by the same method he generally uses to link his main plot to his subplots: thematic parallelism.

		Phineas had come to be a swan in the estimation of his mother and sisters by reason of certain early successes at college.
		Phineas sat his terms for three years, and was duly called to the Bar; but no evidence came home as to the acquirement of any considerable amount of law lore, or even as to much law study, on the part of the young aspirant.
		The girls declared that Phineas ought, at any rate, to have his chance, and almost asserted that it would be brutal in their father to stand in their brother's way.

		Although it is not a prerequisite to understanding PHINEAS FINN, I recommend that readers start at the beginning, so that they have some idea of British parliamentary politics in the mid 19th century and the characters of Plantagenet Palliser, his wife Lady Glencora and their circle.
		Enter Phineas Finn, an engaging Irishman, who gives up the practice of law to run for an Irish seat in the House -- much to the consternation of his friends and relatives who worry how he is to make ends meet.
		No sooner does Phineas get up the courage to propose to her than he finds he has been beaten to the punch by a wealthy Scottish member, who happens to be a dour and rigid Presbyterian.

		The second novel in the Palliser's series, Phineas Finn follows the story of an Irish Member of the British Houses of Parliament from humble beginnings as the son of a doctor through the aristocratic and political salons of the mid-19th century.
		Finn is something of a ladies man but Trollope writes him beautifully as someone who seems to blunder accidentally into good fortune and an interest in several women without the faintest trace of self-knowledge.
		He is the anti-thesis of the charming but deceptive Phineas Finn.

	Phineas Finn, by Anthony Trollope (chapter1)
		Dr Finn, of Killaloe, in county Clare, was as well known in those parts — the confines, that is, of the counties Clare, Limerick, Tipperary, and Galway — as was the bishop himself who lived in the same town, and was as much respected.
		Dr Finn, however, was still firm in his intention that his son should settle in Dublin, and take the Munster Circuit — believing that Phineas might come to want home influences and home connections, in spite of the swanhood which was attributed to him.
		I question whether Dr Finn, when he read this letter, did not feel more of pride than of anger — whether he was not rather gratified than displeased, in spite of all that his commonsense told him on the subject.

		Phineas Finn lives quietly in Dublin, resigned to the fact that his political career is over and coming to terms with the death of his wife, Mary, who has died in childbirth.
		All of the major characters of the former novel are back with a vengeance, and a far more satisfying end to the Phineas Finn saga is provided than that provided by the first novel.
		Perhaps for this reason, Phineas Finn's Catholicism, which was not alluded to in the former novel, is made much of.

		I can't really write a review of this book without giving away too much of its plot, as well as of the plot of Phineas Finn, so I will just note that Phineas' re-entry into English politics occurs in the middle of a great controversy about disestablishment of the Anglican church.
