Phineas Finn the Irish Member by Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882) LibriVox Phineas Finn is the sequel to “Can you Forgive Her?” and the second novel in Trollope’s Palliser series. The eponymous hero is a young Irishman who becomes a member of the English parliament. Trollope aspired to become an M.P. himself, and he ably describes the workings of the English political scene. There is also a love interest, as the somewhat inconstant Phineas courts three different women: his Irish sweetheart, Mary Flood Jones; Lady Laura Standish, the daughter of a prominent Whig politician; and a lovely heiress, Violet Effingham. (Summary by Karen Merline)This is the second of Trollope’s six “Palliser” novels.

His argument is based on reason and common sense, and his sole scholarly resources are the words of the Bible itself. He regards the biblical portrait of God as a monstrous calumny: an inconstant, ruthless, mean-spirited, vindictive devil, the antithesis of the consistent, magnanimous, serene divinity displayed in the creation.The first volume was written at the height of the French Revolution when the author was gravely ill, under threat of death by guillotine, and without a Bible to consult. In the much longer sec Inconstant, The by George Farquhar (1677 - 1707) LibriVox Subtitled "The Way to Win Him:, this play is placed in Paris - a change from many others of Farquhar's plays which used English settings - though still presented to the same English audience. "This comedy ... had a reception, on the first night of its appearance, far inferior to that of his other productions. It was, with difficulty, saved from condemnation; and the author ... boldly charged some secret enemies with having attempted its destruction." (I can sympathize with the author; I think this play is as complex and funny as all his rest. - thw) - Summary by ToddHW and Mrs Inchbald, a critic of the 1800sCast list:Old Mirabel: ToddHWYoung Mirabel: Tomas PeterCaptain Duretete: Craig FranklinDugard: NemoPetit: Eva DavisBravo 1: alanmapstoneBravo 2: tovarischBravo 3: Chuck WilliamsonBravo 4: Son of the ExilesOriana: Leanne YauBisarre: SoniaLamorce: RapunzelinaLady: AvaillePage: Sandra SchmitStage Directions: KalyndaEdited By:  ToddHW
