Description
"The Ordeal of Richard Feverel — Volume 6" by George Meredith is part of a novel published in 1859 that explores how educational systems cannot control human passion. After his wife abandons him, Sir Austin raises his son Richard under a rigid, isolated "System" designed to protect him from corruption. When Richard secretly marries Lucy, a farmer's niece, his father's interference sets off a chain of betrayal and tragedy that tests whether rational planning can ever triumph over the chaos of human emotion and desire.
