Description - Diana Of The Crossways, V3 by George Meredith
A powerful, unflinching portrait of social rules and inner life that still reverberates today. Diana Of The Crossways tracks a woman navigating the pressures of marriage, autonomy, and reputation in nineteenth century england, where a single decision can redraw a life map. This Victorian social novel uses a psychologically intimate realism to expose how class, gender, and marriage intersect with personal desire, drawing a sharp, satirical drama from london and provincial society alike. The result is a compulsive, timeless study of how choices shape identity within a rigid social grid. George Meredith's masterful prose renders character with both warmth and moral clarity, offering a compelling bridge to Trollope style fiction while advancing a distinctive modern sensibility. The narrative brims with social reputation consequences, courtly wit, and a keen sense of the pressures shaping women and men in victorian england. It rewards readers who relish depth, nuance, and the slow, telling evolution of motive as much as plot. A valuable addition for literature students and book clubs reading list alike, this edition helps illuminate a complex era of culture and power. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for lovers of nineteenth century england, london provincial society, and victorian england setting. An enduring, essential read for those seeking psychological realism narrative and sharp social critique in a timeless ritual of reading.
