The George Meredith Library invites the thoughtful traveller into a world where wit is keener than the sword, love is no idle dream, and the heart must learn wisdom through its own misadventures. Here are the complete works of George Meredith, read aloud in full: novels of sparkling conversation, searching comedy, and characters whose follies are as recognisable today as when they first walked the page.

Come by the garden gate, follow the winding hedge, and listen as pride, passion, laughter, and the open fields of the English countryside unfold together. Enter, and let the lark rise.Public domain

    In which the delicate beauty of an English June day lends a fleeting peace to two friends’ horseback ride, even as an impending grievous duty casts a shadow of solemn anticipation.
