Opis

George Meredith (1828-1909), neither a puritan nor a pagan sensualist , is a novelist of immense power and distinction who cares affectionately for individual man and woman. Unlike the pessimistic regret of Hardy , Meredith accepts the current theories of Evolution seeing in them the enlightening promise of a new spiritual dawn. His championship in portraying woman, his demands for her emancipation and his respect for her intelligence eradicate the wrong notions of womanhood in Victorian period.
