Excerpt from George Meredith: A Study of His Works and Personality
Nine years have passed since George Meredith was united again to Earth, the subject and the inspirer of so many of his finest pages, and it seems worth while to essay a considered judgment of his contribution to literature. The present writer has walked all round his subject and taken a Meredithian elevation from different points of view. He must now leave it to others to decide whether his judgments are correct.
To live in and with Meredith, to read and reread the eighteen or so volumes of four to five hundred pages that he has left us, is an ordeal as well as an experience, a discipline as well as a delight. It may result in the student"s being swept into the Meredithian orbit to revolve as an obedient satellite around a more powerful luminary. One may be ever miscarrying with abortive epigram.
