Phineas Finn
The Irish Member
E-text prepared by Joseph E. Loewenstein, M.D.
"Phineas Finn" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around the young Irishman Phineas Finn, who, having just completed his studies at Trinity College, faces the pivotal decision to run for the British Parliament seat of Loughshane. This choice sets him on a path filled with political ambition, the complexities of social influences, and his family's expectations. The opening of "Phineas Finn" introduces us to Dr. Malachi Finn, a respected physician in Ireland, and his family. His son, Phineas, emerges as a promising figure, buoyed by early academic successes, and the support of his mother and sisters, who see him as a potential leader. Despite his father's cautious pragmatism, Phineas is swept away by the prospect of standing for Parliament, especially when encouraged by his politically-minded friend Barrington Erle. The initial chapters establish the contrasting desires of family expectations and personal ambition, as Phineas navigates his budding political career, alongside themes of loyalty, social class, and identity in a rapidly changing society.
