		Palliser is a federal Canadian electoral district in the province of Saskatchewan.
		Meanwhile, the father of Plantagenet Palliser (Philip Latham), despairing at his sons' platonic relationship with married woman—which has caused mid-Victorian tongues to wag—decides to arrange a marriage between his son and Glencora.
		Plantagenet's relationship with the married woman was based solely on their mutual interest in politics, and while not entirely pleased he is more than willing to accept the marital arrangement as his duty, but Glencora struggles with her imprisonment in a marriage with a man she believes she can never love.

		I read the majority of the Palliser novels for the first time bit by bit at the gym on the exercise bike.
		They represent a more mature and sustained novelistic design than the Barchester novels; Trollope's ultimate aim is to delineate the character of a politician who is also a perfect English gentleman: Plantagenet Palliser, who becomes the Duke of Omnium and eventually the titular Prime Minister.
		Palliser himelf had not time for much thought before he found himself closeted with the Duke; but as he crossed the hall and went up the stairs, a throught or two did pass quickly across his mind.

		However, Laura is also a very practical woman, and when her fortune goes to pay the debts of her recalcitrant brother Oswald, she accepts the proposal of devoutly religious Parliamentary member Robert Kennedy rather than follow her heart.
		And eventually the story follows the burgeoning fates of the Pallisers children, particularly son Silverbridge (Anthony Andrews) as he enters politics, and astonishes his parents by deciding to run as (gasp!) a conservative.
		Plantagenet sees the old order fading away as a new generation of upstarts come into power, apparently more interested in cricket than in politics, and much more casual in their approach to everything, including marriage.

		I loved The Pallisers when I first saw it on TV 25 years ago, and I still think it's wonderful, even though its flaws (a bit too stately at times) are more obvious when seen in big gulps of 3-4 hours at a time.
		Forced into a marriage with the wealthy but distracted Plantagenet Palliser, who seems far more interested in becoming Chancellor of the Exchequer than in his marriage, Lady Glencora must balance her relationship with her husband against that with another man, whom she has truly loved.
		Plantagenet (Philip Latham) is much more serious and his confrontation with his rebellious older son is a telling one.

	The Prime Minister (Penguin Classics) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Trollopes depiction of relations between the intensely private Plantagenet and the injudiciously extrovert Glencora is a dead-on accurate portrait of middle-class marriage, and the fact that P. is made prime minister gives Trollope the chance to show interaction between the personal and political spheres in a way that I found absolutely fascinating.
		For them the chief interest of the novel will be the Lopez-Wharton plot, which has plenty of dazzle and drive to sustain it -- but when Lopez is dispatched they may find themselves frustrated and at sea, with a book in their hands that is no longer the book they thought they were reading.
		The notes are annoyingly overlong and too numerous; and the editors introductions, with the exception of that to PHINEAS REDUX, are dumbfoundingly irrelevant, seeming not to have even the simplest grasp of the virtues and appeal of the work being introduced.

	Anthony Trollope by H S Davies
		Who was he that he should class himself among the great ones of the world.' In the days that followed, this moment of unintended arrogance irked him almost more than the end of his power and the formation of a new administration.
		He approved in general of the slow process of amelioration which was going on in his day, the gradual spread of democracy and of education to wider sections of the population.
		Palliser is the type of such a Whig, and in his exact and exacting conscience Trollope finds the explanation of this remarkable change.

		The most intriguing part of the book, though, are the sections that deal with Ferdinand Lopez, a Jewish "outsider" to upper class London society, toward whom Trollope seems to have had a fascinatingly unsettled and ambivalent attitude.
		Trollope is working on a very broad canvas, and here we finally see the fruition of the Pallisers' marriage and of Plantagenet's political toils, if not ambitions, all rendered with sensitivity and truthfulness.
		But this, the chief interest of the novel for me, is doomed to feel weirdly flat and over-detailed to a reader who comes to THE PRIME MINISTER cold.
