Description

The Comic Spirit in George Meredith: An Interpretation, written by Joseph Warren Beach and published in 1911, is a literary criticism that explores the use of comedy in the works of British novelist George Meredith. Beach argues that Meredith's unique style of humor, which often involves a mixture of wit, irony, and satire, serves as a powerful tool for social commentary and moral critique. Drawing on examples from Meredith's novels and essays, Beach examines the various ways in which the author employs the comic spirit to address issues such as gender roles, class inequality, and the nature of love and marriage. Ultimately, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of Meredith's comedic style and its role in shaping his literary legacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
