Among the Diaries beginning with the second quarter of our century there is frequent mention of a lady then becoming famous for her beauty and her wit: 'an unusual combination ' in the deliberate syllables of one of the writers who is however not disposed to personal irony when speaking of her.

George Meredith
George Meredith was a major Victorian novelist whose career developed in conjunction with an era of great change in English literature during the second half of the nineteenth century. While his early novels largely conformed to Victorian literary conventions, his later novels demonstrated a concern with character psychology, modern social problems, and the development of the novel form that has led to his being considered an important precursor of English Modernist novels. In particular, Meredith is noted as one of the earliest English psychological novelists and as an important experimenter with narrative told from a variety of shifting, unreliable perspectives, reflecting a modern perception of the uncertain nature of both personal motivation and of social or historical events.
