Victorian Biography
Hicks, Granville | January 22, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "The Life of George Meredith," by Robert Esmonde Sencourt. Although Sencourt has had access to more material than previous biographers of Meredith, it can scarcely be said that his study necessitates any drastic reinterpretation or revaluation of the poet and novelist. Indeed, Sencourt fails to deal at all decisively with the major problem which other biographers have raised, the problem of Meredith as poseur. Though this book supplants its predecessors simply because Sencourt has used all the information hitherto available together with a certain amount of new material, it leaves room for a more penetrating analysis of Meredith's personality.
