Description

The Egoist: A Comedy in Narrative by George Meredith, published in 1879, is a sophisticated exploration of the complexities of love, identity, and self-absorption. The novel centers around the protagonist, Sir Willoughby Patterne, a wealthy and self-centered aristocrat, who struggles with his own ego and the expectations of society. As he pursues his idealized vision of love, he finds himself entangled in a web of romantic interests, particularly with the intelligent and independent Laetitia, who challenges his self-absorbed worldview.Meredith’s sharp wit and keen psychological insight illuminate the follies of his characters, making the narrative both humorous and poignant. The novel skilfully critiques the societal norms and moral dilemmas of Victorian England, while also delving into the theme of personal growth. With its rich character development and innovative narrative techniques, The Egoist remains a profound commentary on human relationships and the often contradictory nature of desire, making it a timeless classic.
