A sharp, compassionate anatomy of life in late Victorian drawing rooms. A beacon for readers who relish a realist British novel that sifts ambition, illusion and duty with equal measure. Diana Of The Crossways remains a defining example of the Victorian social novel, a satirical societal portrait that moves with wit and moral nerve.

Produktbeschreibung
A sharp, compassionate anatomy of life in late Victorian drawing rooms. A beacon for readers who relish a realist British novel that sifts ambition, illusion and duty with equal measure. Diana Of The Crossways remains a defining example of the Victorian social novel, a satirical societal portrait that moves with wit and moral nerve. Meredith dissects marriage and society, gender roles and identity, and the delicate architecture of reputation inside a world of London high society and the broader nineteenth century Britain. This restored edition reveals a work that is at once a intimate study and a broader meditation on power, class, and conscience. Readers will find a lucid, piercing voice that resonates like Trollope while looking forward to modern novelistic psychology. The book's value endures: it is not merely a text to study, but a living mirror of how we navigate status, love, and public perception. Its themes suit casual readers discovering a master at his craft and classic literature collectors seeking a historically significant, culturally rich artefact. Suitable for university study and book club discussions alike, it stands as more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, restored for today's and future generations. This is a true touchstone for fans of realist literature and for anyone exploring the complexities of nineteenth century britain.
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.
