The Amazing Marriage — Complete
The Amazing Marriage, published in 1895, was George Meredith's last completed novel. Carinthia Jane Kirby, raised in the Austrian mountains by an eccentric father, comes to England with her brother and is married almost on a wager by the rich and willful Lord Fleetwood, who abandons her on their wedding day after taking her to a prize fight. The book follows her refusal either to be broken or to forgive on his terms, and his slow discovery of what he has thrown away. Meredith shares the narration with a figure called Dame Gossip, who wants a conventional romance and complains when the author gives her psychology instead. The style is dense, the heroine one of the strongest in Victorian fiction. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
