- Résumé : "Vittoria" by George Meredith is a novel set against the backdrop of the Italian unification movement, known as the Risorgimento. The narrative follows a group of Italian patriots who are committed to liberating their country from foreign rule and achieving national unity. The story begins with a gathering of these revolutionaries on Monte Motterone, where they discuss their plans and strategies for the upcoming uprising. Among them is the protagonist, Carlo Ammiani, a passionate young man dedicated to the cause. The group is joined by Vittoria, a talented opera singer, who is determined to use her voice as a tool for revolution. Her stay in Milan is intended to be a signal for the uprising, symbolizing the unity and strength of the Italian people. The novel explores themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and the role of women in the struggle for national identity. Meredith delves into the complexities of the characters' motivations, highlighting their personal conflicts and the broader political tensions of the time. Through vivid descriptions and intricate character development, "Vittoria" captures the spirit of a nation on the brink of change, emphasizing the power of individual contributions to a collective cause. The novel is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who fought for Italy's freedom, offering a poignant reflection on the sacrifices made in the pursuit of a unified nation.
- 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.
