- Résumé : Title: "The Ordeal of Richard Feverel" by George Meredith - A Profound Exploration of Love, Morality, and Social Expectations in Victorian England. In "The Ordeal of Richard Feverel," celebrated English novelist George Meredith delves into the intricate dynamics of love, familial ties, and societal norms. Noted for his penetrating societal critiques in works like "The Egoist," Meredith's debut novel continues to tackle these themes with profound depth and sensitivity. The story centers around Richard Feverel, a young man subjected to his father's rigorous 'System' of education aimed at creating the perfect gentleman. However, Richard's burgeoning romantic feelings towards a local farmer's daughter challenge the 'System', resulting in a dramatic collision between personal desire and societal expectations. Meredith's insightful commentary on Victorian societal norms, moral values, and the complexities of romantic love presents a rich tapestry of human emotions and experiences. His nuanced portrayal of Richard's struggles provides a compelling exploration of the human condition and the often tumultuous path to maturity. "The Ordeal of Richard Feverel" is an insightful exploration of Victorian society and the complexities of love and morality. With its thought-provoking themes, complex characters, and engaging narrative, it is a must-read for fans of classic literature and historical narratives.

- 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.
