A fitting conclusion to the Palliser novels, one of the most
remarkable achievements in British fiction, The Duke's Children is
a touching story of love, family relationships, loyalty, and
principles, following the aging Duke of Omnium as he struggles to
come to terms with the loss of his vivacious wife, Lady Glencora,
and the willfulness of his three children. The wide-ranging
introduction explores the implicit politics of the novel about the
nature of conservatism and liberalism in all their facets; the
"woman question"; autobiographical echoes; gambling; and the
novel's interest in modernity and the United States. The book also
includes an invaluable appendix that outlines the political context
of the Palliser novels and establishes the internal chronology of
the series, providing a unique understanding of the six books as a
linked narrative. The editors also provide explanatory notes, and
the preface provides both a compact biography of Anthony Trollope
and a Chronology charts his life against the major historical
events of the period.

made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the
globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to
