About this book

The Tragic Comedians, A Study in a Well-known Story, Volume 1, is by George Meredith. The text says the word 'fantastical' is accentuated in our tongue to so scornful an utterance that its constant good service would make it seem an appointed instrument for reviewers of books of imaginative matter.

Clotilde's younger maiden hours and their love episodes are wrapped in the mists Diana considerately drops over her adventurous favourites, and the text adds that she was not under a French mother's rigid supervision. The text puts it as a supposition that Clotilde was walking with Count Constantine, the Tartar trained in Paris. The blunt Englishwoman asks whether Clotilde is engaged, and according to the explanation Clotilde was hardly engaged, having obeyed her dying relative and dearest on earth by joining her hand to Prince Marko's.

About the author

George Meredith

George Meredith was an English novelist and poet of the Victorian era. At first, his focus was poetry, influenced by John Keats among others, but Meredith gradually established a reputation as a novelist. The Ordeal of Richard Feverel (1859) briefly scandalised Victorian literary circles.
