The George Meredith Library invites the thoughtful traveller into a world where wit is keener than the sword, love is no idle dream, and the heart must learn wisdom through its own misadventures. Here are the complete works of George Meredith, read aloud in full: novels of sparkling conversation, searching comedy, and characters whose follies are as recognisable today as when they first walked the page.

Come by the garden gate, follow the winding hedge, and listen as pride, passion, laughter, and the open fields of the English countryside unfold together. Enter, and let the lark rise.Public domain

  • The Egoist Chapter I

    The Egoist Chapter I
    Oct 21 2026
    In which the origins and ambitions of the Patterne family are duly noted, with a particular focus on young Sir Willoughby’s admiration for his valiant but distant relative, Lieutenant Crossjay Patterne of the Marines. Yet when the reality of this visitor’s unceremonious and pugilistic presence at the ancestral Hall becomes apparent, the youthful heir’s tempered pride and circumspection subtly betray the enduring tensions of lineage and expectation.

  • The Egoist Prelude

    The Egoist Prelude
    Oct 20 2026
    In which a Socratic reflection on the nature of comedy sets the stage for an exploration of human egoism, presenting it as a vast and ancient tome filled with worldly wisdom that demands the distillation of the Comic Spirit to impart understanding and relief from modern monotony. The prelude introduces the figure of the Egoist, a gentleman emblematic of his time and station, whose vanity and self-regard become the subtle yet persistent subject of mirthful scrutiny by mischievous observers attuned to the folly of inflated self-importance.

    The Ordeal of Richard Feverel 44 - The Last Scene
    Oct 18 2026
    In which the watchful gathering at Raynham House waits with mounting anxiety for the return of the young heir, whose arrival brings a mingling of joy, anguish, and solemn revelations that unsettle the fragile peace of the household. Amidst tender reconciliations and deep confessions, father and son grapple with love, honour, and the heavy price of human frailty, while the tender figure of Lucy embodies both steadfast devotion and the heartache that shadows their shared ordeal.
