The Palliser Novels were written in order by Anthony Trollope between 1864 and 1879. The novels in order are: Can You Forgive Her, Phineas Finn, The Eustace Diamonds, Phineas Redux, The Prime Minister and The Duke's Children. It is recommended the novels be read in order as "spoiler alerts" emerge as the series continues.
The novels were known as The Parliamentary Novels prior to being transformed into a BBC drama known as The Pallisers. They encompass several themes including British and Irish politics, family saga, and Victorian life. The interest is less in the politics and more in the social backdrop.
