Sandra Belloni is a novel written by George Meredith that tells the story of a young Italian girl named Alessandra (Sandra) Belloni. The novel is set in the mid-19th century and follows Sandra's journey from a poor orphan to a successful opera singer. Sandra is raised in a convent until she is taken in by her father's wealthy cousin, Mr. Pole. However, Mr. Pole's wife does not approve of Sandra and treats her poorly. Sandra becomes friends with Lucy, the Poles' daughter, and falls in love with Lucy's brother, Adrian. However, Adrian is engaged to another woman and cannot return Sandra's affections. Sandra decides to pursue a career as an opera singer and travels to London to study under the famous singer, Madame Marini. She becomes very successful and gains the attention of many wealthy and influential people, including the Prince of Wales. Throughout the novel, Sandra faces many challenges, including financial struggles, social ostracism, and the disapproval of her family. However, she remains determined to succeed and eventually finds love and happiness with a man who truly appreciates her talents and character. Overall, Sandra Belloni is a story of perseverance, love, and the pursuit of one's dreams in the face of adversity. It is a classic novel that explores themes of class, gender, and identity in Victorian society.So when Tracy Runningbrook, who had also been a plum in his day, and was still a poet, said that she was exquisitely comic, they were induced to take the humorous view of the inexplicable side in the character of Miss Belloni, and tried to laugh at her eccentricities. Seeing that Mr. Pericles approved of her voice as a singer, and Tracy Runningbrook let pass her behaviour as a girl, they conceived that on the whole they were safe in sounding a trumpet loudly. These gentlemen were connoisseurs, each in his walk.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
