About this author

George Meredith was an English novelist and poet during the Victorian era. His first novel "The Ordeal of Richard Feverel: A History of Father and Son" was considered a breakthrough novel, but its sexual frankness caused a scandal and prevented it from being widely read. His later novel "The Egoist" (1879) is one of his most enduring.
