"Evan Harrington — Volume 3" by George Meredith is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The narrative centers around Evan Harrington, whose identity as a tailor and his complexities as a character provide a backdrop for exploring themes of class, ambition, and societal expectations. The story delves into his interactions, particularly with the alluring Countess de Saldar and their misadventures at Beckley Court, where class distinctions and personal aspirations collide. The opening of the book introduces the Countess de Saldar, who is resolute in her pursuit of social standing while navigating her own infatuation with ambition and status. She arrives at Beckley Court, eager to reclaim a sense of grandeur amid the English nobility, all while confronting her misfit brother Evan's position as a tailor. This establishes a tension between her high aspirations and the reality of their social background. The narrative further contextualizes Evan's character as he begins to struggle with his identity amid romantic leaves and societal judgments, setting the stage for further developments in their complex familial and romantic dynamics. In this opening context, themes of identity and the critiques of class are vividly brought to life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
