Published in 1906, this study of Meredith’s work was endorsed by its subject, a personal acquaintance of the author. A 1912 review in the New York Times reports that “the little book has taken its place as the best existing criticism of what is after all the most important aspect of George Meredith.” Trevelyan defines Meredith as a “Poet,” “Singer of Strange Songs,” “Philosopher and Moralist,” and “Critic of Society.”

George Macaulay Trevelyan (1876-1962) was a British historian who eschewed objectivity in favor of passionate engagement in his works, which reflected his personal commitment to Whig and Liberal principles (his great-uncle was the staunch Whig, Thomas Babington Macaulay). Among his best-known books are Garibaldi and the Making of Italy (1911), British History in the Nineteenth Century (1922), and An Autobiography and Other Essays (1949).
