The Ordeal of Richard Feverel — Volume 2 by George Meredith
"The Ordeal of Richard Feverel — Volume 2" by George Meredith is a novel published in 1859 that explores the inability of educational systems to control human passions. When Sir Austin Feverel's wife abandons him, he raises their son Richard under "the System"—a strict plan designed to shield the boy from corruption, particularly from young women. But Richard falls in love with Lucy Desborough, defying his father's rigid control. What follows is
a tragic collision between paternal authority and natural desire, revealing the dangerous consequences of attempting to suppress human nature through artificial methods. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
