Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from George Meredith: Some Characteristics The following essays make no attempt either to "place" Mr. Meredith or to be a kind of critical microcosm of his work, nor do they presume to speak with any air of finality thereon. There are but three or four living Englishmen in whom such Olympian attitude would escape the absurd. Nor do I, on the other hand, as I have elsewhere profanely phrased it, come singing "The Meredithyramb." My whole attempt is that of a lover of the works to give expression to the faith that is in him, and I have written rather for those who are already spending their lives in a vain endeavour to convert masculinity to The Egoist than in the hope of being myself an instrument of conversion. If the use of writing for those who are already "in the place of hope" be questioned, one may reasonably ask if the most seductive of all literary pleasures does not consist merely in the comparing of impressions and sensations.
