George Meredith: Poems

Notes

  1. ^ Peacock was not fond of Meredith and is unlikely to have been happy about this dedication. For an account of the two men's differences, see Jack Lindsay, George Meredith: His Life and Work, London: Bodley Head, 1956, pp. 55–58.
  2. ^ Flint Cottage still stands and is a Grade II listed property "for both architectural and historical reasons". https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1278478
  3. ^ Meredith made Jessopp's acquaintance after Jessopp wrote him fan mail in 1861. Following an exchange of letters, they met in December of that year; Jessopp and his wife were quick to take an interest in Arthur, which prompted Meredith to believe his son would benefit from boarding at Norwich School. Ultimately, though, the cost of keeping him there proved prohibitive.[45]
  4. ^ Among her publications were Plain Cookery, Fancy Cookery and High-Class Cookery. Her endeavours were recognised with a gold medal from the Royal Society of Arts.[48]
