Ordeal of Richard Feverel
Ordeal of Richard Feverel
Published in 1859, 'The Ordeal of Richard Feverel' by George Meredith explores the complex relationship between a father and son. After his wife leaves him, Sir Austin Feverel imposes a strict educational regime on his son Richard, who struggles against this control as he seeks to navigate love and life on his own terms. The novel was notable for its frank treatment of sexuality, leading to its rejection by many libraries of the time, and it has since influenced notable authors such as E. M. Forster, Oscar Wilde, and Virginia Woolf.
