The Tale Of Chloe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419184772)

The Tale of Chloe is a novel written by the renowned English author George Meredith. The book tells the story of a young woman named Chloe who is caught in a love triangle between two men: the wealthy and powerful Sir Willoughby Patterne and the dashing and charming Colonel De Craye. As Chloe navigates the complexities of her relationships with these two men, she must also confront the societal expectations placed upon her as a woman in Victorian England. The novel explores themes of love, marriage, gender roles, and social class, all set against the backdrop of the English countryside. Meredith's writing is known for its wit, humor, and social commentary, and The Tale of Chloe is no exception. Through Chloe's story, the author offers a nuanced critique of the rigid social norms of his time, while also celebrating the human capacity for love and passion. First published in 1879, The Tale of Chloe remains a classic of Victorian literature and a must-read for fans of the genre. Its rich characters, intricate plot, and timeless themes continue to captivate readers over a century later.Yes!' cried they, striking their bosoms as guitars, and attempting the posture of the thrummer on the instrument; 'she knows. She does know. Handsome Susie knows what we want.' And one ejaculated, mellifluously, 'Oh!' and the other 'Ah!' in flagrant derision of the foreign ways they produced in boorish burlesque--a self-consolatory and a common trick of the boor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
