#19thclit — Public Fediverse posts

At the start of the year I finished reading George Meredith's The Ordeal of Richard Feverel. It's regarded as 'unjustly neglected'. I'm not sure. Some bold comic strokes, caricature, and social satire, turning darker and more tragic at the end. Moving on to modern novels now. #TeamEnglish #novels #VictorianStudies #19thcLit

"He loved science and deeply respected it, but, like many of us, he soon came to the conclusion that to follow the career of a scientific man meant to join the camp of the Philistines, and that there was plenty of other and more urgent work that he could do."
