Many wealthy tradesmen possess villas far more pretentious on the outskirts of Paris or of London. But the charm of Flint Cottage lies in its absolute simplicity. The little house, where Meredith had lived for forty years, is situated half-way up a slope which inclines slowly firs little towards a wood of ; a garden, admirably kept, surrounds it. When I entered the garden, the convolvuluses were more than half-closed and the first drops of rain fell noiselessly upon the grassy hill-side. It autumn and the slopes of the was ; day 2 GEORGE MEREDITH was calm and fresh. A light breeze just swayed the leaves of the lime trees and the elms, which had begun to turn colour. The blackberries were already laurel ripe upon the brambles ; and from the hedges exhaled a bitter odour.

Edinburgh is^ London TO HIM WHO IS THE SUBJECT OF THE FOLLOWING PAGES WE MAKE THIS JOINT OFFERING IN THE HOPE THAT IT MAY SHEW US WORTHY TO BE COUNTED AMONG A CERTAIN " " ACUTE AND HONOURABLE MINORITY Pref;ace The following essays make no attempt either to " place " Mr. Meredith or to be a kind of critical microcosm of his work, nor do they presume to speak with any air of finality thereon. There are but three or four living Englishmen in whom such Olympian attitude would escape the absurd. Nor do I, on the other hand, as I have elsewhere profanely phrased it, come singing "The Mere- dithyramb." My whole attempt is that of a lover of the works to give expression to the faith that is in him, and I have written rather for those who are already spending their lives in a vain endeavour to convert masculinity to The Egoist than in the hope of being myself an instrument of conversion. If the use of writing for those who are already " in the place of hope " be questioned, one may reasonably ask if the most seductive of all literary pleasures does not consist merely in the compar- ing of impressions and sensations.

THE COMIC SPIRIT IN GEORGE MEREDITH CHAPTER I THE COMIC SPIRIT My aim in this book is to trace in Mereditli's novels the comic spirit that makes their chief distinction. This aspect of his work has been much ignored by the critics. In their preoccu- pation with his amazing style, with his Shake- spearean women, with his philosophic message, they have neglected what is for me the very "open sesame" to the treasure house.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 2 ABSTRACT My case for Meredith is that a discussion of his novels in terms of his acknowledged concern for analysing and representing inner action shows him as a more interesting and significant figure than is generally allowed. The usual ways of regarding his work, in terms of his ideas about the Comic Spirit or Nature, tend to overlook his conscious and respon­ sible exploration of the capacities of fiction throughout a career which spanned half a century. In his earlier works Meredith modified various popular forms of fiction, always resisting what he took to be conventional expectations of excitement in external action in favour of stressing the complex reality of the inner life.

  • George Meredith (1828-1909): Champion of Women, Writer, Novelist, and Poet
    George Meredith (1828-1909): Champion of women, writer, novelist, and poet The research carried out for Surrey Heritage’s March of the Women project has discovered much regarding the campaigning activities of Surrey’s women and men on all sides of the Women’s Suffrage debate. One figure stands out who was described by campaigners as a champion for women’s suffrage, namely, George Meredith. Meredith had little sympathy for the methods used by militant exponents of female enfranchisement and so the importance of his writing to activists in the campaign has been largely overlooked even though he was an influential writer, novelist and poet who became known for his views on women and their rights. His views, as well as his emotional response to the events in his personal life, were issues for which he found an outlet through his writing. His published works, including his novels, contain strong heroines who often struggled with the confines and restrictions of contemporary society. He was a prolific correspondent contributing to influential journals and newspapers, as well as writing copious letters to his many personal friends and admirers. George Meredith was born in Portsmouth in 1828 and attended St Paul’s School, Southsea, before he was sent to a boarding school in Suffolk. From 1842 onwards he attended the School of the Moravian Fathers in Neuwied, near Koblenz, on the Rhine. In her biographical entry for George Meredith in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Margaret Harris speculates that it may have been the influence of his time at Neuwied which gave rise to his strong views on the need for women to be educated, as the school was attended by both boys and girls (although separately accommodated and taught).

  • Memories of George Meredith, O.M
    MEMORIES OF GEORGE MEREDITH, O.M. mmmmmmmmm •Il-^ MEMORIES OF GEORGE MEREDITH O.M. BY LADY BUTCHER WITH THREE ILLUSTRATIONS LONDON CONSTABLE AND COMPANY LTD 1919 Printed in Great Britain TO WILL AND MARIE AND THEIR CHILDREN 42653o PREFACE These Memories of forty-one years' friend- ship with (Jeorge Meredith may, I hope, have some value for those who know and appreciate his novels and poems, and may not be without interest to those who had the privilege of personal acquaintance with him. They are in no sense offered or intended even as a partial biography. They are compiled partly from recollections, and partly from notes made in my diaries. These notes contain a contemporaneous record of his sayings, and as such have, I hope, a certain value. I have therefore thought it best to give them in their origi- nal form, necessarily rough and frag- mentary, rather than detract from their character by any attempt to polish or improve them. u ; viii MEMORIES OF GEORGE MEREDITH It is beyond my powers by any written record adequately to reproduce his illumin- ating talk, or to describe his clear per- ceptive mind, or his wise counsels in times of anxiety. From what I have written the reader will, I trust, be able to outline for himself a true picture of the character of my friend as I knew him. It is a matter of regret to me that I have been unable altogether to avoid referring to my own life and experiences but it seemed impossible otherwise to make the purpose and meaning of his sayings and counsels rightly understood.
