| Summary | "Lord Palmerston" by Anthony Trollope is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the life and political career of Henry John Temple, the 3rd Viscount Palmerston, who served as a prominent British statesman and Prime Minister during the 19th century. It covers his extensive impact on foreign and domestic policy, focusing particularly on his perception as a foreign minister and his clashes with other political figures, including the Prince Consort. The opening of "Lord Palmerston" introduces readers to the author's approach in compiling the memoir, citing various sources, including speeches and biographies. Trollope expresses his intention to navigate the complicated political landscape of Palmerston's life, emphasizing the controversies surrounding his dismissal as Foreign Minister and how he skillfully maneuvered through the political arena to regain power. The author hints at Palmerston's character, noting his determination and resilience, while also foreshadowing the key events in Palmerston’s career that would define his legacy in British politics. The initial narrative sets up a contextual framework for understanding Palmerston's role in significant historical events and debates, laying the groundwork for a deeper exploration of his life throughout the rest of the text.
