Meredith and the Novel

Meer over het boek

Meredith's novels offer a radical exploration of social and personal relations, particularly regarding gender. This comprehensive study by Neil Robert is the first in a decade to analyze Meredith's work through the lens of modern literary theory, particularly Mikhail Bakhtin's ideas. It reveals Meredith as a significant figure who deeply interacts with the ideological discourses of his era, positioning him as a precursor to the modernist novel yet to be fully appreciated by contemporary readers.
