- Résumé : "The Tragic Comedians" by George Meredith explores the intricate dynamics of love, change, and societal expectations through the lives of its protagonists, Clotilde von Rudiger and Alvan. Clotilde, a young woman of noble birth, is renowned for her beauty and originality. She is dissatisfied with her suitors, yearning for a partner who embodies both strength and intellect. Her encounter with Alvan, a charismatic and controversial political figure, ignites a complex relationship. Alvan, a Jew and a demagogue, is a man of immense intellect and transformation, who captivates Clotilde with his eloquence and adaptation. Their connection is immediate and intense, as they share similar ideas and a mutual attraction. However, societal barriers and personal conflicts challenge their union. Clotilde's struggle with her feelings for Alvan, compounded by her family's expectations and her own ideals, creates a tension that drives the narrative. Meredith delves into themes of identity, societal norms, and the pursuit of personal fulfillment, painting a vivid picture of the characters' internal and external conflicts. The novel is a reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the tragic consequences of unfulfilled desires.
- 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.
