About the author
Born in Portsmouth, England, on February 12, 1828, he became one of the most distinctive literary figures of the Victorian period. He wrote both poetry and fiction, and although he began as a poet, he gradually built his reputation through novels admired for their wit, dense style, and probing look at character and society.
His best-known works include The Ordeal of Richard Feverel, The Egoist, and the poem sequence Modern Love. Readers and critics have often noted how modern parts of his writing can feel, especially his interest in inner life, social pressure, and the complications of marriage, ambition, and self-deception.
In later life he was widely respected in English literary circles, even if he was never the easiest novelist for a mass audience. He died near Box Hill, Surrey, on May 18, 1909, leaving behind a body of work that continues to stand out for its intelligence, irony, and original voice.
