About this book
Immerse yourself in the restless wit and moral force of Victorian life with Complete Works of George Meredith by George Meredith, a richly varied audiobook that collects his fiction, poetry, and prose. This definitive compilation spans Meredith’s satirical social novels—The Egoist, The Ordeal of Richard Feverel, Evan Harrington, and The Amazing Marriage—alongside adventurous fantasia like The Shaving of Shagpat, lyrical volumes of poetry, essays, and wartime correspondence.
Blending psychological realism, biting social commentary, and lyrical imagination, Meredith’s work probes marriage, individuality, class, and the comic spirit of his age. His complex characters—often sharp-witted women and morally entangled men—reveal the tensions of late 19th-century society while his poetry and essays display a commanding and idiosyncratic voice. Readers will encounter both the narrative energy of Victorian fiction and the compressed music of Meredith’s verse, with occasional philosophical detours and theatrical satire.
Ideal for fans of classic literature, Victorian and 19th-century fiction, and listeners who relish dense, intelligent prose and poetry read aloud, this audiobook offers a complete immersion in one of the era’s most original writers. Listen to appreciate literary craft, historical insight, and sustained moral imagination.
