Interweaving analysis of Meredith’s novels and poems with discussion of his life, Richard Cronin focuses primarily on the books Meredith read and wrote—arguing that novels by the end of the nineteenth century were shaped as much by the reading as by the experience of their writers. Cronin places Meredith’s novels in relation to the work of his contemporaries including Henry James, Thomas Hardy, and George Gissing. Organized thematically, the book explores Meredith’s personal side—including his hostility to biography, his origins as the son of a tailor, his marriages—as well as his reading habits, and the prose style that is the most complete expression of his strange but compelling personality.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | George Meredith; Modern Marriage; Victorian novels; literary biography; life writing; Henry James; Thomas | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-32448-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-32450-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-32448-3 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
