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.
