Produktbeschreibung
A sharp-eyed portrait of a changing world, Diana Of The Crossways dissects the price of reputation with wit, spirit, and a piercing moral eye. This Victorian novel, steeped in late nineteenth-century England, examines marriage and independence, gender role critique, and the quiet power of social expectations through Meredith's renowned social satire. It offers a compact, humane study of characters navigating love, status, and restraint, wrapped in lucid prose that remains accessible to today's readers while rewarding classic-literature enthusiasts. The book blends English literary fiction with a keen observation of manners, manners, and the precarious balance between public opinion and private conviction, delivering a vivid portrait of Victorian England and its enduring concerns. Historically significant as a cornerstone of nineteenth-century social critique, Diana Of The Crossways invites English literature students and general readers alike to revisit a pivotal moment when conventions were questioned and slowly reshaped. Meredith's sharp, humane satire shines through in every page, marking it as essential in any collection of classic literature. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for both casual readers and serious connoisseurs of Victorian prose. This is classic literature that speaks with contemporary relevance.
Autorenporträt
George Meredith OM (February 12, 1828-May 18, 1909) was born in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. He was an English poet, writer, and author, whose books are noted for their intelligence, extraordinary dialogues, and aphoristic way of writing. Meredith's books are also recognised for psychological studies of character and a highly subjective perspective on life that is a long way ahead of its time, considering women are equals to men in all streams. His most popular works are The Ordeal of Richard Feverel (1859) and The Egoist (1879). He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature seven times.
