One of Trollope's most engaging novels, The Eustace Diamonds paints a highly revealing study of Victorian Britain's colonial activities in Ireland and India, its veneration of wealth, and its pervasive dishonesty. In her introduction, Helen Small places the novel within contemporary political and social debates. An appendix outlines the political context of the Palliser novels and establishes the internal chronology of the series and the relationship between fictional and actual political events. The book includes a wealth of explanatory notes.
