- Résumé : "Lord Ormont and His Aminta" by George Meredith explores the intricate dynamics of love, honor, and societal expectations in Victorian England. The narrative follows the life of Lord Ormont, a distinguished military figure whose career is marred by controversy and personal challenges. His relationship with Aminta, a woman of mysterious allure, becomes a focal point, highlighting the tension between personal desires and public duty. The story delves into themes of loyalty, the constraints of societal norms, and the pursuit of personal happiness amidst external pressures. Meredith's portrayal of characters is nuanced, offering a critique of the rigid structures of Victorian society and the impact of these structures on individual lives. The novel also reflects on the nature of heroism and the complexities of human relationships, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world. Through vivid characterizations and a keen insight into human nature, Meredith crafts a narrative that is both a reflection of its time and a timeless exploration of the human condition.
- Biographie : George Meredith OM (12 February 1828 - 18 May 1909) was an English novelist and poet of the Victorian era. At first his focus was poetry, influenced by John Keats among others, but he gradually established a reputation as a novelist. The Ordeal of Richard Feverel (1859) briefly scandalised Victorian literary circles. Of his later novels, the most enduring is The Egoist (1879), though in his lifetime his greatest success was Diana of the Crossways (1885). His novels were innovative in their attention to characters' psychology, and also took a close interest in social change. His style, in both poetry and prose, was noted for its syntactic complexity; Oscar Wilde likened it to chaos illumined by brilliant flashes of lightning. He was an encourager of other novelists, as well as an influence on them; among those to benefit were Rrt Louis Stevenson and George Gissing. He was nominated for the Nl Prize in Literature seven times.
