Excerpt from George Meredith: Some Early Appreciations

The twenty-three articles contained in this volume have been chosen from a collection of over one hundred as worthy of preservation in a form more accessible than that in which they originally appeared. For various reasons it has been necessary to withhold several interesting papers which I should like to have included; but those gathered here fairly represent critical judgment on George Meredith's writing from the year 1851, when his first book was published, till 1883, when he issued his "Poems and Lyrics of the Joy of Earth," the volume which immediately preceded "Diana of the Crossways;" and it will hardly be disputed that these papers from a select band of Meredith's early admirers will help the Meredith student of to-day towards a better understanding of the last of the great Victorians.
