Synopsis "The Egoist (1879) by: George Meredith ( tragicomical NOVEL )"
The Egoist is a tragicomical novel by George Meredith published in 1879.The novel recounts the story of self-absorbed Sir Willoughby Patterne and his attempts at marriage; jilted by his first bride-to-be, he vacillates between the sentimental Laetitia Dale and the strong-willed Clara Middleton. More importantly, the novel follows Clara's attempts to escape from her engagement to Sir Willoughby, who desires women to serve as a mirror for him and consequently cannot understand why she would not want to marry him. Thus, The Egoist dramatizes the difficulty contingent upon being a woman in Victorian society, when women's bodies and minds are trafficked between fathers and husbands to cement male bonds.In an afterword by Angus Wilson, The Egoist was called "the turning point in George Meredith's career.
