Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This significant work studies the concept of the comic expressed in the novels of noted author George Meredith. The comic spirit, as defined by Meredith, is less about the laugh-out-loud humorous, and more a lens through which human experience and social structures can be examined and understood. The author effectively connects Meredithâs celebrated novels to his essay on the idea of comedy, demonstrating how the comic spirit underpins themes of seriousness, social critique and insightful commentary on human nature. Insightfully discussed and analyzed are the works The Egoist, The Tragic Comedians, and Sandra Belloni, among others. Ultimately, this study reveals the profound insights Meredithâs literary genius provides into the manifold realities and foibles of human existence.
