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. 000917539 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 2, 2019). 000917539 60010 $$aMeredith, George,$$d1828-1909$$xCriticism and interpretation. 000917539 650_0 $$aAuthors, English$$y19th century$$vBiography. 000917539 852__ $$bebk 000917539 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-32448-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000917539 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:917539$$pGLOBAL_SET 000917539 980__ $$aEBOOK 000917539 980__ $$aBIB 000917539 982__ $$aEbook 000917539 983__ $$aOnline 000917539 994__ $$a92$$bISE
