From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The "Palliser novels" are six novels by Anthony Trollope.

The common thread is the wealthy aristocrat and politician Plantagenet Palliser and (in all but the last book) his wife Lady Glencora. The plots usually involve English politics in varying degrees, specifically in and around Parliament.

The books are:

• Can You Forgive Her? (1864)
• Phineas Finn (1869)
• The Eustace Diamonds (1873)
• Phineas Redux (1874)
• The Prime Minister (1876)
• The Duke's Children (1879).

The series stands in contrast to Trollope's Chronicles of Barsetshire, also six novels, which deal with life in a more rural fictional county.

In 1974 the BBC adapted the Palliser novels as a twenty-six part serial The Pallisers, also utilising some material from Trollope's Barsetshire novel The Small House at Allington (1864). The series starred Susan Hampshire as Lady Glencora M'Cluskie and Philip Latham as Plantagenet Palliser. Sudeley Castle, once the home of Catherine Parr, sixth wife of Henry VIII, was the location for Matching Priory, the Pallisers' country residence.

Other cast members in the adaptation included: Derek Jacobi (Lord Fawn), Anna Massey (Lady Laura Kennedy), Barbara Murray (Madame Max Goesler), Jeremy Irons (Frank Tregear), Bryan Pringle (Mr Monk), Anthony Andrews (Lord Silverbridge), Fabia Drake (Countess of Midlothian), Peter Sallis (Mr Bonteen), June Whitfield (Mrs Bonteen), Anthony Ainley (Rev Emilius), Donald Pickering (Dolly Longestaffe), Sonia Dresdel (Marchioness of Auld Reekie), Moray Watson (Barrington Erle), Martin Jarvis (Frank Greystock), Terence Alexander (Lord George de Bruce Carruthers), Penelope Keith (Mrs Hittaway), Clifford Rose (Quintus Slide), Lynne Frederick (Isabel Boncassen), Mel Martin (Violet Effingham), Roland Culver (The Duke of Omnium), Sarah Badel (Lizzie Eustace), Jeremy Clyde (Gerard Maule), Sheila Ruskin (Emily Wharton), Edward Hardwicke (The Prince of Wales), John Ringham (Major Tifto), Caroline Mortimer (Alice Vavasor), Gary Watson (George Vavasor), Donald Eccles (Squire Vavasor), Kate Nicholls (Lady Mary Palliser), Anna Carteret (Lady Mabel Grex), Stuart Wilson (Ferdinand Lopez), Carolyn Jones (Patience Crabstick), Helen Lindsay (Mrs Carbuncle), Rachel Herbert (Lady Dumbello) and Barry Justice (Burgo Fitzgerald).

There was also a 12-part BBC Radio 4 "Classic Serial" dramatisation in 2004.
