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. Commonly known as the Parliamentary novels prior to their 1974 television dramatisation by the BBC broadcast as The Pallisers. Marketed as polite literature during their initial publication, the novels encompass several literary genres including: family saga, bildungsroman, picaresque, as well as satire and parody of Victorian (or English) life, and criticism of the English governments predilection for attracting corrupt and corruptible people to power., This series (and torrent) consists of the following books:, 1 - Can You Forgive Her?, Length: 28 hrs and 8 mins, In Can You Forgive Her? Trollope inextricably binds together the issues of parliamentary election and marriage, of politics and privacy
