책소개

With Laura’s assistance Phineas obtains an opportunity to meet Violet alone and formally asks her to become his wife, but Violet refuses him while her unresolved attachment to Lord Chiltern remains stronger than Phineas understands, and although this romantic disappointment hurts him his political career continues to advance as he gains government office and increasing influence, while Laura’s marriage to Kennedy deteriorates under his rigid possessiveness until their domestic life approaches complete breakdown and she again turns emotionally toward Phineas as one of the few people she trusts, while Madame Max Goesler attracts the aging Duke of Omnium yet carefully protects her independence and reputation and remains an important confidante to Phineas, whose outward political success increasingly contrasts with the unresolved conflicts of love, friendship, and loyalty in his private life.

저자(글) Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) was one of the major English novelists of the Victorian era, known for his realistic and perceptive portrayals of politics, society, class, marriage, money, and human relationships. He worked for many years for the British Post Office while pursuing his literary career, and his remarkably disciplined writing routine enabled him to produce more than forty novels during his lifetime. His best-known works include the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which portray the clergy and social life of a fictional English county, and the Palliser novels, which explore political ambition, power, love, and marriage. Rather than relying on sensational events, Trollope focused on ordinary choices and social conflicts, revealing human vanity, desire, conscience, and compromise with humor and psychological insight. Popular with readers during his lifetime, he is now regarded as one of the most important realist novelists for understanding the social and political world of nineteenth-century Britain.
