内容简介

Plantaganet Palliser, Prime Minister of England - a man of power and prestige, with all the breeding and inherited wealth that goes with it - is appalled at the inexorable rise of Ferdinand Lopez. An exotic impostor, seemingly from nowhere, Lopez has society at his feet, while well-connected ladies vie with each other to exert influence on his behalf - even Palliser's own wife, Lady Glencora. But when the interloper makes a socially advantageous marriage, Palliser must decide whether to stand by his wife's support for Lopez in a by-election or leave him to face exposure as a fortune-hunting adventurer. A novel of social, sexual and domestic politics, The Prime Minister raises one of the most enduring questions in government - whether a morally scrupulous gentleman can make an effective leader.

与其同时期的著名小说家狄更斯和萨克雷相比,特罗洛普对女性角色和地位的观点更加具有前瞻性。在《首相》这部小说中,他的女性角色不论在家庭生活中追求精神自主还是在社会生活中寻求政治参与方面都非常突出。特罗洛普创造了不同于所处时代的女性形象的角色,并对她们的命运及挣扎充满同情。
