Book Description
Excerpt from George Meredith: Novelist, Poet, Reformer But Meredith is not an author only: he is also a critic, and a critic of an unusually penetrative kind. The Essay on Comedy is universally recognised as a lasting contribution to literature; but from his articles in the Fortmkktb' Review, for the year 1868 alone, the truth may be gleaned as to the quality and range of his literary judgment. He had suffered too acutely him self at the hands Of reviewers to be in any danger of dismissing young writers' work on the grounds of mere personal distaste. His criticism is singularly sympa thetic and appreciative, but it is more. It is related to the possibilities Of his art and its whole body Of achieve ment: it abounds in illustrations drawn from the masters of literature. From these writings it is obvious that Meredith possesses a very delicate power Of literary discrimination, and any consideration Of his achievement must be based on a recognition of this, in spite Of the fact that he has laid himself open to the charge of being prolix and uneclectic in his work. The truth is that his great and multiform activity has obscured the single-mindedness Of his impulse, and it is this single-mindedness which needs to be recognised afresh by those who would estimate his power. Inter mittently, Meredith is a great artist; primarily and consistently, he is a moralist - a teacher. He has pondered on man and his destiny till his insight has perceived whole regions and vistas Of human possibility that as yet are untenanted, and he has made it the object of his existence to nerve his fellows to seize and enter on the fulness Of their inheritance. It may ap pear paradoxical that pages which would not have been published by lesser writers, should have found favour with an artist towering head and shoulders above any but the masters, but the explanation is simple enough.
