Along the way, she encounters various challenges and obstacles, including social prejudice, romantic entanglements, and family secrets. The novel explores themes of class, gender, identity, and the pursuit of personal fulfillment. Meredith's writing style is characterized by his use of complex language, psychological insight, and social commentary. Sandra Belloni is considered one of his most accomplished works and is widely regarded as a classic of Victorian literature.So when Tracy Runningbrook, who had also been a plum in his day, and was still a poet, said that she was exquisitely comic, they were induced to take the humorous view of the inexplicable side in the character of Miss Belloni, and tried to laugh at her eccentricities. Seeing that Mr. Pericles approved of her voice as a singer, and Tracy Runningbrook let pass her behaviour as a girl, they conceived that on the whole they were safe in sounding a trumpet loudly. These gentlemen were connoisseurs, each in his walk.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
