George Meredith: The Life and Writing of an Alteregoist is not only a critical biography of the Victorian novelist and poet George Meredith but also a portrait of the novel in the later nineteenth century. Interweaving analysis of Merediths 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 Merediths novels in relation to the work of his contemporaries including Henry James, Thomas Hardy, and George Gissing. Organized thematically, the book explores Merediths 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. |
