Résumé

Résumé : In Volume 6 of "Sandra Belloni" by George Meredith, the narrative continues to explore the complex social dynamics and personal struggles of its characters. Emilia, the protagonist, finds herself in a state of despair after losing her singing voice, which she believes is her only asset. Her journey through the foggy streets of London reflects her internal turmoil and sense of isolation. She encounters various characters, including a compassionate policeman and street children, who provide her with brief moments of solace. Meanwhile, the Brookfield family faces their own challenges. The sisters, Arabella, Adela, and Cornelia, are entangled in romantic and social dilemmas, exacerbated by the presence of Mr. Pericles, a wealthy Greek patron who has shifted his attention to the rival Tinley family. The sisters' father, Mr. Pole, is under pressure to marry Mrs. Chump, a wealthy widow, to secure the family's financial future. However, his health and mental state are deteriorating, adding to the family's distress. The narrative delves into themes of societal expectations, personal identity, and the struggle for self-worth. Emilia's plight is mirrored by the Brookfield sisters' attempts to navigate their own lives within the constraints of Victorian society. The volume ends with unresolved tensions, leaving the characters at a crossroads, each facing their own uncertainties and the consequences of their choices.
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.
