Book Overview

""Lord Ormont and His Aminta"" is a novel written by George Meredith, first published in 1894. The story revolves around the life of Lord Ormont, a wealthy and influential man who is known for his political and social connections. He is also known for being a bachelor, until he meets Aminta, a beautiful and intelligent woman who captures his heart. As their relationship develops, Lord Ormont and Aminta face various challenges and obstacles, including the disapproval of Lord Ormont's family and friends, as well as the interference of Aminta's former lover. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and social class, as well as the complexities of relationships and the impact of societal expectations on individuals. Meredith's writing style is known for its complexity and use of stream-of-consciousness narrative, which can make the novel challenging to read for some readers. However, the novel is also praised for its vivid characterization and exploration of social and political issues of the time. Overall, ""Lord Ormont and His Aminta"" is a classic work of literature that offers a nuanced portrayal of love and society in Victorian England.Farrell might pass; Aminta was debated. This female Christian name had a foreign twang; it gave dissatisfaction. Boy after boy had a try at it, with the same effect: they could not speak the name without a pursing of the mouth and a puckering of the nose, beastly to see, as one little fellow reminded them on a day when Matey was in more than common favour.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
