About this book

Examines the novels of George Meredith in the light of modern literary theory, and from a Bakhtinian perspective. Shows that the Meredithian novel is a social dialogue among languages that engages profoundly with the ideological discourse of its time, and above all the discourses of gender. The author argues that Meredith is one of the most intriguingly subtle radical voices of his age, and his novels are not fully discovered as precursors to the modernist novel.
