    Can You Forgive Her?

    4,3(162)Évaluer

    Can You Forgive Her? is the first of the six Palliser novels. Here Trollope examines parliamentary election and marriage, politics and privacy. As he dissects the Victorian upper class, issues and people shed their pretenses under his patient, ironic probe. Alice Vavasor cannot decide whether to marry her ambitious but violent cousin George or the upright and gentlemanly John Grey and so finds herself accepting and rejecting each of them in turn. She is increasingly confused about her own feelings and unable to forgive herself for such vacillation a situation contrasted with that of her friend Lady Glencora, forced by sagacious heads to marry the rising politician Plantagenet Palliser in order to prevent her true love, the worthless Burgo Fitzgerald, from wasting her vast fortune. In asking his readers to pardon Alice for her transgression of the Victorian moral code, Trollope created a telling and wide-ranging account of the social world of his day

    Angleterre, fin du XIXe siècle. Membre du parti libéral, Plantagenet Palliser a hérité du titre de duc d'Omnium. Lorsque sa femme succombe à une grippe, il doit s'occuper seul de ses enfants, qui lui posent divers ennuis : ses fils se font renvoyer de leur école pour indiscipline, tandis que sa fille s'est amourachée d'un jeune bourgeois, ce qui lui fait craindre une mésalliance.
