The Duke's Children is a novel by Anthony Trollope, first published between 1879 and 1880 as a serial in All the Year Round. It is the sixth and final novel of the Palliser series.
Trollope was obliged to cut around a quarter of his manuscript before it was published in serial and book form. Professor Steven Amarnick and colleagues have reconstructed an uncut version of the novel from the original manuscript held at Yale University’s Beinecke Library. This has been published as The Duke's Children: The Complete Text, initially in a limited edition by The Folio Society (2015), then in mass-market editions by Everyman's Library (2017) and Oxford World's Classics (2020).
