George Meredith - 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica - Free Online

His nature was intuitive rather than ratiocinative; his mental processes were abrupt and farreaching; and the suppression of connecting associations frequently gives his language, as it gave Browning's, but even to a greater extent, the air of an impenetrably nebulous obscurity.
. . .
Though unappreciated by the multitude, its genius was at once recognized by such contemporaries as George Eliot and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the latter of whom was one of Meredith's intimate friends.
. . .
He had died only a brief span before his old friend Swinburne, from whom he had been divided in intimacy for some years; and it was felt that, with them, a great epoch in English literary history had closed.
. . .
Ballads and Poems of Tragic Life (1887) and A Reading of Earth (1888) gave further evidence of the wealth of thought and vigour of expression which Meredith brought to the making of verse.
. . .
Returning to fiction, Meredith next published Emilia in England (1864), afterwards renamed Sandra Belloni.
. . .
It was early in 1856 that the Shaving of Shagpat, a work of singular imagination, humour and romance, made its appearance.

George Meredith - New World Encyclopedia

At the age of 14 he was sent to a Moravian School in Neuwied, Germany, where he remained for two years.
. . .
More materially, Forster compliments Meredith on not revealing Laetitia Dale's changed feelings for Willoughby until she rejects him in their midnight meeting; "[i]t would have spoiled his high comedy if we had been kept in touch throughout ... in fact it would be boorish.
. . .
The New American Library of World Literature (Signet Books), 1963, 501-508.
. . .
Meredith's novel depicts a world in which women's bodies and minds were trafficked between fathers and husbands to cement male bonds.
. . .
He was 21 years old; she was 30.[2] He collected his early writings, first published in periodicals, into Poems, which he managed to publish to some acclaim in 1851.
. . .
Her departure was the inspiration for The Ordeal of Richard Feverel, his first "major novel."[3] He married Marie Vulliamy in 1864 and settled in Surrey, where he continued writing novels and later in life returned to writing poetry, often inspired by nature.

Modern Love is in many ways a unique work in Meredith's poetic oeuvre, in its length, its theme, and its attention to psychological realism.
. . .
The publication of his most acclaimed novel, The Egoist, in 1879 finally established Meredith--now thirty years into his writing career--as an important author.
. . .
The story of Modern Love is narrated by the husband.
. . .
Poems and Lyrics of the Joy of Earth also contains a revised version of "Love in the Valley," the Paradise Lost-inspired "Lucifer in Starlight," and another of Meredith's most praised works, "Lark Ascending," which inspired a 1914 orchestral work of the same name by the great British composer Vaughn Williams.

Beer, Gillian, Meredith: A Change of Masks; A Study of the Novels, Athlone Press, 1970.
. . .
It has been theorized that readers were attracted by the belief that in this novel Meredith was revealing some inside information about this widely discussed affair; in fact, so many readers assumed that the novel reflected the facts of the scandal that later editions contained disclaimers disallowing any connection between Meredith's creation and the affair.
. . .
His first work of fiction, The Shaving of Shagpat: An Arabian Entertainment, is a lighthearted fantasy that contains a number of themes that recur throughout Meredith's career, including ridicule of social conventions and disdain for social climbers, and features as a central character a young man whose growth to maturity is aided by a woman.
. . .
Meredith's subsequent relationships with women proved for some time unsatisfactory.
. . .
Lacking access to these funds for his business, Meredith's father was forced into bankruptcy.
. . .
Meredith's poetry has received increasing attention in recent years and critics have noted that it follows the same course of development as his novels, moving from early examinations of the self in society to a later concern with broader social issues and defiance of the conventions of the form.

George Meredith - Books & Literature Classics

He despises sentimentality, admires chiefly the qualities of quiet strength and good breeding which are exemplified among the best members of the English aristocracy; and in all his interpretation is very largely influenced by modern science.
. . .
'The Egoist' (1879) and 'Diana of the Crossways' (1885) are among his other strongest books.
. . .
But he long outlived her and continued to write to the end of his life; and his recognition was long delayed; so that he may properly be placed in the group of later Victorian novelists.
. . .
Some of it is rugged in form, but other parts magnificently dramatic, and some few poems, like the unique and superb 'Love in the Valley,' charmingly beautiful.
. . .
He may perhaps best be approached through 'Evan Harrington' (1861) and 'The Ordeal of Richard Feverel' (1859).
