Complete Short Works of George Meredith
Everything George Meredith wrote in shorter prose forms, gathered in one volume. It opens with Farina, an early comic legend of medieval Cologne, and continues with his three mature novellas: The Case of General Ople and Lady Camper, a comedy of a retired officer tormented by his neighbor's caricatures; The Tale of Chloe, a story of Bath society and a woman's sacrifice; and The House on the Beach. There follow an unfinished early fragment, an unfinished comedy, The Sentimentalists, and miscellaneous prose including Meredith's dispatches from the Italian war of 1866 and the 1877 lecture On the Idea of Comedy, which remains his best-known critical statement. The pieces show a novelist usually associated with difficulty working on a smaller, lighter scale. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
