Phineas Redux is a novel by Anthony Trollope, published in 1874. It is the fourth book in the Palliser series and follows the story of Phineas Finn, a former Member of Parliament who returns to London after a two-year absence. Finn is accused of the murder of a political rival, and his trial becomes the focus of the novel.As Finn navigates the legal system and tries to clear his name, he becomes involved in a web of political intrigue and personal relationships. He reconnects with old friends, including Lady Laura Standish, with whom he had a complicated romantic relationship in the past. He also becomes involved with a new woman, Madame Max Goesler, a wealthy widow who becomes a source of support and comfort for Finn.Throughout the novel, Trollope explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the corrupting influence of power. He also provides a detailed portrayal of the political landscape of Victorian England, including the workings of Parliament and the role of the press in shaping public opinion.Phineas Redux is considered one of Trollope's finest novels and is praised for its intricate plot, richly drawn characters, and insightful commentary on politics and society.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.
