Book excerpt: Orphaned and in a vulnerable social position, Diana Warwick decides to enter a marriage to protect herself from unwanted advances and unfair living conditions. After marrying a smart but manipulative politician, Diana quickly regrets her decision. Charming and intelligent, yet impulsive, Diana manages her miserable marriage by spending time with others, paying little mind to the social consequences it may warrant. After indiscreetly traveling with another man, her husband files for divorce and accuses Diana of infidelity, shocking the London high society. However, the aristocrats are even more scandalized after Diana accidently lets a political secret slip. As a victim of social ruin, Diana is given little choice but to leave the country in the hopes of a fresh start, though she does not want to leave her home. After her friend encourages to her to fight against the judgement and stand up for herself, Diana goes to court, prepared to establish her innocence and face her ex-husband. With sophisticated prose and strong, plausible characters, Diana of the Crossways by George Meredith is smart and riveting. Based on true events, Diana of the Crossways promotes themes of feminism and examines the different implications of sex and marriage between genders. Described to be abstract and rich with sensory detail, Meredith’s prose is exemplary and delicately portrays a charming woman’s struggle to overcome the scandals she becomes involved in. Though first published in 1885, this compelling drama makes observations of society and politics that remains relevant even centuries later. This timeless commentary simultaneously provides a unique perspective of the Victorian era, garnering an insatiable fascination with this bold story. This edition of Diana of the Crossways by George Meredith features an eye-catching new cover design and is presented in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, this edition is accessible and appealing to contemporary audiences, restoring this Victorian drama to modern standards while preserving the original mastery of George Meredith’s work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Among the Diaries beginning with the second quarter of our century, there is frequent mention of a lady then becoming famous for her beauty and her wit: 'an unusual combination,' in the deliberate syllables of one of the writers, who is, however, not disposed to personal irony when speaking of her. It is otherwise in his case and a general fling at the sex we may deem pardonable, for doing as little harm to womankind as the stone of an urchin cast upon the bosom of mother Earth; though men must look some day to have it returned to them, which is a certainty; and indeed full surely will our idle-handed youngster too, in his riper season; be heard complaining of a strange assault of wanton missiles, coming on him he knows not whence; for we are all of us distinctly marked to get back what we give, even from the thing named inanimate nature."
