	George Meredith - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		GEORGE MEREDITH (1828-1909), British novelist and poet, was born at Portsmouth, Hampshire, on the 12th of February 1828; the parish church register records his baptism on the 9th of April.
		With this novel Meredith deserted the realm of fancy for that of the philosophical and psychological study of human nature, and Richard Feverel was the first, as it is perhaps the favourite, of those wonderful studies of motive and action which placed him among the demigods of English literature.
		Moreover, Meredith's instinct for psychology is so intimate, and his sense of motive and action so true, that the interaction of character and character directly dominates the sequence of events depicted in his imaginary world, and discloses the moral idea or criticism of life, instead of the preconceived "moral" being merely illustrated by the plot.

	Meredith, George (1777 - 1856) Biographical Entry - Australian Dictionary of Biography Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		MEREDITH, GEORGE (1777-1856), settler, was born on 13 February 1777 near Birmingham, England, the fourth son of John Meredith and his wife Sally, née Turner; his father was a prominent barrister and solicitor and descended from the ancient Amerydeth family of Devon and Wales.
		In 1796 Meredith was commissioned second lieutenant in the marines and later served in the West Indies, at the blockade of Ferrol in Spain and on the Mediterranean Station.
		George Meredith possessed qualities of endurance and strength which, coupled with his early experience at sea in command of men and subsequent farming life in England, resulted in a character eminently suitable for pioneer colonial life.

	George Meredith (1828-1909) -- A Brief Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		George had never forgiven her for her desertion, but he grudgingly allowed Arthur to visit his mother, especially during her last days.
		Though Meredith wrote sympathetically of women who, like the heroine of Diana of the Crossways, went beyond the traditional domestic roles, he apparently realized that for a man of his demanding temperament, the right wife was one whose sense of self-worth lay in the role of helpmeet.
		While it is tempting for modern readers to be critical of Meredith for wanting a wife who would cater to his ego, we should remember not only that he lived in different times, but that this was a man who had been deprived of maternal care at a very early age.

	George Meredith Bibliography
		Meredith does not adhere to a strict narrative structure or the conventions of a clear narrative.
		Fletcher argues that Meredith is obviously fascinated by the psychology of jealousy and believes it is remarkable that he views it with detachment, using it in many different forms.
		She insists that Meredith took Victorian psychological poetry to a new level of complexity by combining a sonnet sequence, Shakespearean drama, dramatic monologue and the novel.

	Meredith, George. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		One of the great English novelists, Meredith wrote complex, often comic yet highly cerebral works that contain striking psychological character studies.
		Although Meredith began and ended his literary career as a poet, he is best remembered as a novelist.
		Meredith’s novels and poems are written in a brilliant but oblique style.

	Literary Encyclopedia: George Meredith
		Meredith's work has not found a place in a Victorian literary history that renews itself through republication and adaptation (as have the novels of Austen or Hardy, for example).
		Although he frequently eschewed realism, Meredith was a “child of realism” (to echo Oscar Wilde's description of him) in the sense that he never abandoned his commitment to the representation and critique of a recognizable social world: his plots never step outside the bounds of social possibility.
		In his novels, the representations of gender identities, the conventions of plot (realist and romantic) that enforce what he saw as damaging stereotypes (damaging both to women and to society itself) are constantly challenged and the patriarchal authority of the omniscient narrator is undermined.

	Amazon.com: The Ordeal of Richard Feverel (Penguin Classics): Books: George Meredith,Edward Mendelson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		George Meredith was just starting a long career when he wrote this book, in which he later made numerous changes, omitting many unneeded characters, the result of which was to create a slightly more coherent work.
		In real life George Meredith was hurt by an uncaring father who probably was the model for Sir Austen Feverel, who decided to recreate the biblical confrontation between Adam, Eve, and the snake.
		George Meredith is best known for his poetry and his later novel _The Egoist_, and these are indeed the best places to begin with Meredith's oeuvre.

	Lucifer in Starlight George Meredith - Lucifer in Starlight by George Meredith
		His ultimate goal, is so close, but then at the last moment, when he is about to proceed to his destination, he feels the force of god blocking his path, and sinks back to his world.
		Meredith combines irony, with his own distinctive style and tone, to portray the ordeal quite realistically.
		By the caliber of Meredith's writing, this poem is worthy for more than just a place in a English book.

	THE COUNTRY OF GEORGE MEREDITH
		George Eliot made photographic Florentine studies: she did not herself re-create for us the country of Romola, as she re-created her own home-land for us in Adam Bede, or Silas Marney, or The Mill on the Floss.
		George Meredith writes with his bewitching mastery, not because he has travelled widely and seen much, but because from his cottagehome in the heart of Surrey, or wherever else he has lived, briefly or for long, he has observed with insatiable love and eagerness --because he has the transmuting mind and the instinct of interpretation.
		It is in his verse, however, that Meredith has given most intimate and poignant as well as most personal expression to his deep love of and exceptional intimacy with nature.

	George Meredith
		As a young man I was exposed a lot to the writings of George Meredith and studied his essay "On the Idea of Comedy and the Uses of the Comic Spirit" (1877.) The work is a celebration of the civilising power of the comic spirit.
		The mind, he affirms, directs the laughter of comedy, and civilisation is founded on common sense, which equips one to hear the comic spirit when it laughs folly out of countenance and to participate in its fellowship.
		His best known works are The Ordeal of Richard Feverel (1859) and The Egoist (1879).
