Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pilgrim´s Scrip: Or Wit and Wisdom of George Meredith; With Selections From His Poetry, and an Introduction A few years ago a copy of one of Meredith´s novels was a rarity in this country; but now there are two complete new editions of his works; and, despite Mr. Meredith´s own modest plea, "that the best of me is in my books," there are a large number of his admirers and friends who crave a less distant and more personal acquaintance with him. To meet this wish, and making use of all the material we could find, we have prepared this bare and inadequate sketch, humbly hoping that we shall not infringe upon the mans rightfully guarded personality. George Meredith was born in Hampshire, in the year 1828. His parents died when he was quite young, and left him to be educated as a ward in Chancery. Of these parents little has been told the general public; but it is said that the blood of working ancestors flows in Meredith´s veins, and perhaps this accounts for the sympathetic insight with which many of his homely characters are drawn. He received his early education in Germany, where he remained until fifteen years old. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
