The Ordeal of Richard Feverel is a novel written by George Meredith that tells the story of a father and son relationship that is put to the test. The story follows the life of Richard Feverel, a young boy who is raised by his father, Sir Austin Feverel, in a strict and controlling environment. Sir Austin believes that his son should be raised to be a gentleman and that he must be taught to control his emotions and desires.As Richard grows older, he becomes increasingly rebellious and begins to question his father's authority. He falls in love with a girl named Lucy, but his father disapproves of the relationship and tries to break them apart. Richard is torn between his love for Lucy and his loyalty to his father.The novel explores themes of love, family, and the struggle between tradition and individuality. It also delves into the psychological and emotional complexities of the father-son relationship, as well as the consequences of strict and oppressive parenting.Overall, The Ordeal of Richard Feverel is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged novel that offers a powerful commentary on the challenges of growing up and the complexities of familial relationships.1896. One of the great English novelists, Meredith wrote complex, often comic yet highly cerebral works that contain striking psychological character studies. In Meredith's novel about a troubled father-son relationship he has created a hero with whom it is impossible for the reader to identify. The Ordeal of Richard Feveral was a deliberate departure from the traditional conventions of the Victorian novel which demanded a shared set of conservative middle-class values.
