George Meredith (1828-1909) abandoned the legal profession for journalism and poetry after marrying Mary Ellen Nicolls, a widowed daughter of Thomas Love Peacock. After his wife ran off with the English Pre-Raphaelite painter Henry Wallis, Mereditch's collection of sonnets entitled "Modern Love" (1862) and his first major novel, "The Ordeal of Richard Feverel," came of this experience.
This is one of Meredith's lesser known and most tragic works featuring a merciless impeachment of respectability.
