Anthony Trollope was an influential 19th century who remains to this day one of the most prominent and respected writers of all time. His success in the Victorian period of the mid 1800s has been widespread mainly due to his influential novel, Chronicles of Barsetshire, but also because of his numerous well-written and well-received works about politics.Can You Forgive her? is the first of six Trollope novels dealing with the social and political scene of the era, in this case focusing mainly on the social aspect. The book’s main storyline follows the progress of Glencora and Plantagenet Pallister, a married couple which has to cope not only with the challenges of married life, but also with Plantagenet’s newly launched political career that leads his wife to question whether or not she can lead a happy life, and to long for the man she was forced to give up in favor of a genuine sham of a marriage.Trollope also introduces us to Alice Vavasor, a beautiful and intelligent young woman who is, however, torn between the choice of marrying two gentlemen. Once she accepts and rejects both of their proposals for marriage, she is left confused and undecided on her ultimate choice.Although the author eventually focuses this series of novels on politics, this initial exploration of the relationship between politics and the social aspirations of men and women during the Victorian period is quite an enlightening venture into the psychology of marriage and the pursuits of “higher” goals.Is there any value in progressing in social rank without the benefit of a happy heart? Can true love prevail through the challenges and rules imposed by a society based on strict social norms? Find out the answers to these and many other questions by reading Anthony Trollope’s outstanding novel "Can You Forgive Her?"

Can You Forgive Her? is a novel by Anthony Trollope, first published in serial form in 1864 and 1865. It is the first of six novels in the “Palliser” series. The novel follows three parallel stories of courtship and marriage and the decisions of three strong women: Alice Vavasor, her cousin Glencora Palliser, and her aunt Arabella Greenow. Early on, Alice asks the question “What should a woman do with her life?” This theme repeats itself in the dilemmas faced by the other women in the novel. Lady Glencora and her husband Plantagenet Palliser recur in the remainder of the Palliser series. The satirical periodical Punch mocked the work, referring to it as Can You Stand Her? due to its writers’ irritation at Alice’s ineptitude in deciding between her two suitors. Another commentator pokes fun at the book’s length, joking that for modern audiences a more appropriate title might be Can You Possibly Finish It?

Can You Forgive Her? is a novel by Anthony Trollope, first published in serial form in 1864 and 1865. It is the first of six novels in the "Palliser" series. Alice Vavasor, a young woman of twenty-four, is engaged to the wealthy and respectable and dependable, if unambitious and bland, John Grey. She had previously been engaged to her cousin George, but she broke it off after he went through a wild period. John, trusting in his love, makes only the slightest protest of Alice’s planned tour of Switzerland with her cousin Kate, George's sister, even when he learns George is to go with them as male protector. Influenced by the romance of Switzerland, Kate's contriving to restore George to Alice's favour, and her own misgivings with John's shortcomings, Alice jilts her second fiancé. Alice's noble but despised relations are shocked, but their protests only strengthen Alice's resolve, and she eventually renews her engagement to George, who seems charismatic, ambitious and alluring, in contrast to John. Then George's darker side becomes increasingly visible. He starts asking for money from Alice to support his parliamentary ambitions. Ever attentive to Alice's welfare, John secretly pays the money instead. George wins his first election, but loses his second and in despair and, after learning of John's interference in his campaign and engagement, almost murders John before escaping to America.

WHETBER or no, she, whom you arc to forgive, if you can, did or did not belong to the Upper Ten Thousand of this our English world, I am not prepared to say with any strength of affirmation. By blood she was connected with big people,-distantly connected with some very big people indeed, people who belonged to the Upper Ten Hundred if there be any such division; but of these very big relations she had known and seen little, and they had cared as little for her. Her grandfather, Squire Vavasor of Vavasor Hall, in Westmoreland, was a country gentleman, possessing some thousand a year at the outside, and he therefore never came 11p to London, and had no ambition to have himself numbered as one in any exclusive set. A hot-headed, ignorant, honest old gentloman, he lived ever at Vavasor Hall, declaring to any who would listen to him, that the country was going to the mischief, and c~ngratulating himself that at any rat(l, in his county, parliamentary reform had been powerlesTable of Contents CONTENTS; CHAl'TEB; I-MR VA VASOR A'ffi HLS DAUGnTER •; n-LADY MACLEOD; III--JOllN GREY, THE WQRTfiY MAN; IV--GEORGE VAVA~OR, THE WILD MAN •; V--THE BALCONY AT DASLE; VI-THE BRIDGE OVER THE RHINE; VIT-AUNT GREE~OW; VIII-MR CREESACRE; IX-THE rov AIS ••; X-NETllEROOATS; xr-JQn~ GREY GOES TO LO~"'DO~; XII-MR GEORGE VAVASOR AT HOltE; XIII-MR GRB[~ GETS HIS ODD }IO~Y ••; XIV-AUCE V A v!Son BECOMES TROUBLED; XV-PARAMOUNT CRESCENT; XVI-THE ROEBURY CLUB; XVII-EDOEBILL; XVIII-!LlCE VAVASOR'S GREAT RELATIO~S; XlX-TRmUTE FROM OILEYMEAD "; XX-WHICH SHALL IT BE?; XXI-AJ,!CE IS TAUOHT TO GROW UPWARDS, TOWARDS; LIGHT; POg; 1; 7; 16; 26; 33; 41; 49; 57; 65; 75; 81; 90; 97; 102; 113; 121; 129; 141; 149; 154; THE; 161 CHAinES; XXll-DANDY AND FLIRT ••; XXIII-DJXNFR AT MATCHING PRIORY; XXIV-THREE POLITICIANS ••; XXV-IN WHICH MUCH OF THE mSTORY OF THE PALLlSEnS; J'AOK; 167; 177; 185; IS TOLD 193; XXVI-LADY }HDLOTHIAN 202; XXVII-THE PRIORY RUINS ,
