"The Prime Minister" by Anthony Trollope is a novel published in 1876. When political deadlock forces a fragile coalition government, the Duke of Omnium reluctantly becomes Prime Minister. As he struggles with leadership and his government's inability to act, his wife's well-meaning interference triggers a scandal involving a charming but treacherous financial adventurer. This fifth Palliser novel weaves together the challenges of political power with personal choices, marriage, and honor in Victorian England.
