"Beauchamp's Career — Volume 3" by George Meredith is a novel written in the late 19th century that explores political and social themes through the experiences of its main characters. The story follows Captain Nevil Beauchamp, a young politician facing the challenges of electioneering in the fictional borough of Bevisham. With idealistic views, Beauchamp finds himself navigating the complexities of liberalism, political partnerships, and the intricacies of personal relationships as he seeks to represent the interests of the people. At the start of the volume, we are introduced to the election milieu, where Beauchamp interacts with various characters including Lord Palmet, who offers a lighthearted, yet superficial take on politics. The chapter illustrates Beauchamp's struggles with his political ally, Mr. Cougham, and presents a vivid canvas of canvassing for votes, showcasing the awkwardness and absurdity of the electoral process. As Beauchamp canvasses, he wrestles with philosophical ideas about governance and societal issues, while also dealing with social dynamics that include his romantic interests, particularly in Miss Denham. The opening sets the stage for a complex interplay of ideals, personal ambition, and societal expectations, illustrating the larger themes that will unfold throughout the narrative.
