QR code
"The Ordeal of Richard Feverel — Volume 5" by George Meredith is part of a novel published in 1859. The story follows Sir Austin Feverel's attempt to raise his son Richard through an authoritarian educational system designed to control human passions. When Richard secretly marries Lucy Desborough against his father's wishes, Sir Austin's interference sets off a chain of tragic events. Hailed as a forerunner of the modern novel, Meredith's psychologically rigorous
work challenged Victorian attitudes toward sexuality and the limitations of rational systems in governing human nature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
