| Summary | "The Adventures of Harry Richmond — Complete" by George Meredith is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Harry Lepel Richmond, a young boy caught in the emotional turmoil stemming from his family's conflicts, particularly concerning his father and mother. The narrative unfolds through Harry's eyes as he navigates childhood adventures, family complexities, and societal expectations. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Riversley Grange, where Harry lives with his grandfather, the Squire Beltham, and other members of the family. A dramatic midnight encounter shakes the household as Mr. Richmond, Harry's estranged father, arrives unannounced, seeking to reconcile with his wife, Marian. This meeting evokes strong reactions, particularly from the Squire, who fiercely resents Mr. Richmond for past grievances. The tension escalates into a scene filled with confrontation and emotional appeals that emphasize the themes of familial loyalty, love, and conflict. This opening sets the stage for Harry's journey through his childhood entangled with the complexities of his parents’ tumultuous relationship. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
