(1864-5) is the first of the six famous Palliser novels which, as a group, provide us with the most extensive and contradictory expose of British life during the period of its greatest prestige. In Can You Forgive Her? Trollope inextricably binds together the issues of parliamentary election and marriage, of politics and privacy. The values and aspirations of the governing stratum of Victorian society are ruthlessly examined and none remain unscathed. Above all Trollope focuses on the predicament of women. 'What should a woman do with her life?' asks Alice Vavasor of herself, and this theme is echoed by every other woman in the novel, from the uncomfortably married Lady Glencora to the coquettish Mrs Greenow and Alice's clear-headed cousin Kate.]]> 1948 3 1 false Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Nov 17 19:40:23 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 14 07:11:48 -0800 2007 more...]]> 421012 31482 374371 0140430865 9780140430868 55 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174265706m/374371.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174265706s/374371.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/374371.Can_You_Forgive_Her_ 3.96 389 1948 4 1 false Sun Mar 25 10:01:04 -0700 2007 Sun Mar 25 10:24:29 -0700 2007
