The Evolution of Meredith's New Woman: A Counter Discourse

By Mukhopadhyay Barnali

George Meredith (1828-1909), neither a puritan nor a pagan sensualist, is a novelist of immense power and distinction who cares affectionately for individual man and woman. Unlike the pessimistic regret of Hardy, Meredith accepts the current theories of Evolution seeing in them the enlightening promise of a new spiritual dawn. His championship in portraying woman, his demands for her emancipation and his respect for her intelligence eradicate the wrong notions of womanhood in Victorian period.
