English novels became most popular and prolific of all English Literary forms. It fully emerged in the Eighteenth Century. The closing years of Victorian reign brought a profound change in the status and psychology of women. In this age, home was the only legitimate sphere of activity for women. Home was 'the girl's prison and woman's workhouse'. They insisted on 'the equality of the sexes'. They were on the way to gain new professions and new dignity of status. In such circumstances some novelists came forward. George Meredith is one among the few who was a visionary and looked far ahead. It is said that, 'he belonged to Victorian age but chronologically he was too ahead'. This book will find George Meredith as an English Victorian poet and novelist, whose novels are noted for his wit, brilliant dialogue, and aphoristic quality of language. Meredith's novels are also distinguished by psychological studies of character and a highly subjective view of life that, far ahead of his time, regarded women as truly the equals of men. He projected 'new women' through his writing who were capable of not only continuation of species but correcting the civilization.
