The Ordeal of Richard Feverel, the third novel by George Meredith published in 1859. It is typical of his best work, f...ull of allusion and metaphor lyrical prose and witty dialogue, with a deep exploration of the psychology of motive and rationalization. The novel’s subject is the relationship between a cruelly manipulative father and a son who loves a girl of a lower social class. Both men are self-deluded and proud, and the story’s ending is tragic. When it was first published, some readers considered the novel prurient, and, as a result, it was banned by the leading lending libraries.
