- Résumé : "The Ordeal of Richard Feverel" by George Meredith is a novel that explores the complexities of youth, education, and societal expectations. The story centers around Richard Feverel, the son of Sir Austin Feverel, a baronet with a rigid system of education designed to shield his son from the corruptions of the world. As Richard grows, he is subjected to his father's experimental upbringing, which isolates him from traditional schooling and social interactions. The narrative unfolds with Richard's rebellion against his father's strictures, leading him to experience the world beyond the confines of Raynham Abbey. His adventures include encounters with various characters, such as a tinker and a ploughman, who introduce him to different perspectives on life. Richard's journey is marked by a series of conflicts, including a physical altercation with a farmer named Blaize, which symbolizes his struggle against authority and societal norms. The novel delves into themes of love, betrayal, and the quest for personal identity, as Richard navigates the challenges of adolescence and the expectations placed upon him by his family and society. Meredith's work is a critique of Victorian ideals and the limitations of a rigid educational system, highlighting the importance of personal experience and emotional growth in the development of a young individual.
- 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.
