The thing about George Meredith's prose is that, well, he doesn't always seem to be telling a story. He seems to be riffing about a story he's trying to tell. That's vulgar, I know, that word "riffing," but it's almost apt. Meredith wrote with a sense of irony, fun, and continual surprise. He's not always easy to follow, because the story is almost a stream-of-consciousness . . . but sometimes that of the author, not his character!
This was a very personal novel by the author. It is a novel of class and the breaking of the class boundaries. The father of the title hero is written very close to the reality of Meredith's own father. Many of Meredith's best works have a personal touch, such as his first great success, "The Ordeal of Richard Feverel."
Highly recommended, but with the provisos stated above. ( )
