Produktbeschreibung
A haunting doorway into Victorian England's inward distances. A suite of ballads and verse that probes fate, memory, and the price of moral imagination. This enduring poetry collection gathers Meredith's late nineteenth-century meditations on tragedy, mortality, and human suffering, rendered as precise, lyric narratives. Read as a verse anthology that blends narrative momentum with stark moral introspection, it speaks to poetry students and literary enthusiasts alike, inviting close attention to voice, image, and cadence. The collection's themes-mortality and fate, the weight of conscience, and the fragile line between dream and reality-unfold with clarity, making it accessible without compromising literary depth. Its literary and historical significance rests in Meredith's craftsmanship and its place within victorian era england's broader conversation about art, sorrow, and social consciousness. This is not a mere reprint; it's a reimagining designed to resonate with today's readers and tomorrow's scholars, preserving the texture and tonal range of the originals while ensuring long-term legibility and impact. For readers drawn to tragedy themed anthologies, and for those tracing the lineage of English verse, the work offers a compact, compelling cross-section of late nineteenth-century verse and moral inquiry. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
Autorenporträt
George Meredith was an English novelist and poet, born on February 12, 1828. Meredith was born to Thomas Meredith and Jane Cholmeley. He was a prominent figure in the Victorian era, initially known for his poetry, which was heavily influenced by poets like John Keats. Over time, Meredith transitioned into novel writing and became recognized for his works in this genre. His novel The Ordeal of Richard Feverel (1859) caused a stir in Victorian literary circles due to its controversial themes. However, it was his later novels, such as The Egoist (1879) and Diana of the Crossways (1885) that earned him enduring acclaim. His works often explored complex psychological and moral dilemmas, blending wit with serious social critique. Meredith's other notable works include The Shaving of Shagpat (1856), Farina (1857), and Evan Harrington (1861). Throughout his career, he developed a reputation for his intricate character studies and exploration of human nature. Meredith's influence extended well into the 20th century, and his work remains a key part of Victorian literature.
