Publisher description
Excerpt from The Great Modern English Stories: An Anthology George Meredith's five short stories are each as long as the average novelette, and accordingly he is not represented in this collection, but they have the unity of the true short story, and in them there is a keen preoccupation with the subtleties of characterisation which was hitherto uncommon intheenglish, asopposedtotheamerican, short story. I suppose his masterpiece in this genre is The Tale of Chloe, a delicately woven study of place, idyllic in its portraiture, whose outward frailty conceals vigorous delineation and a poignancy deftly rendered by suggestion.
