The Readable People of George Meredith
ISBN: 9780691645094 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Focusing on Meredith's struggle to shape and change the reader, Judith Wilt examines five novels: The Ordeal of Richard Feverel, Sandra Belloni, The Egoist,...
