About this book
Meredith calls this a study of a story that really happened, and says he invents nothing in it: a famous party leader and a young aristocrat, here named Clotilde von Rudiger, drawn into a passion that ends badly for them both. The opening pages argue that critics use the word "fantastical" too scornfully and that the two lovers deserve close study. Chapter I introduces Clotilde at seventeen, already admired and inclined to coquetry. The pair are based on Ferdinand Lassalle and Helene von Donniges.
