The Egoist: Narrative Comedy
About This Novel
Meredith's influence on the novel is indirect rather than direct. His widely used inner monologue is the forerunner of the "stream of consciousness" technique of James Joyce and others. Commentators believe that he and Eliot created psychological novels, forming an important link between the forerunners in the 18th century and their successors in the 20th century. "The Egoist" depicts Sir Willoughby, an "egoist" with a good reputation but good at controlling others. The book highlights the subjugated status of women in the Victorian era and dramatizes the struggles and dilemmas faced by women. This book is known for its profound psychological description and is Meredith's masterpiece. Xiang Xingyao is a senior translator of English and American literature in my country.
