The Ordeal of Richard Feverel — Complete by George Meredith
"The Ordeal of Richard Feverel — Complete" by George Meredith is a novel published in 1859. When Sir Austin Feverel's wife abandons him for a poet, he raises their son Richard according to "the System"—a rigid educational plan designed to control every aspect of the boy's development, particularly his contact with women. But human passion proves impossible to regulate. Richard falls in love with Lucy Desborough, defying his father's scientific theories about
proper upbringing. What follows tests whether any system can truly master the human heart. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
