Miss Meredith (1889) is a novel by Amy Levy. Published the year of
her tragic death, Miss Meredith is the final novel of a pioneering
writer and feminist whose poetry and prose explores the concept of
the New Woman while illuminating the realities of Jewish life in
nineteenth century London. "A hard fight with fortune had been my
mother's from the day when, a girl of eighteen, she had left a
comfortable home to marry my father for love. Poverty and
sickness-those two redoubtable dragons-had stood ever in the path.
Now, even the love which had been by her side for so many years,
and helped to comfort them, had vanished into the unknown." Elsie
Meredith is keenly aware of her mother's fate in life, and although
she wants to be there for her in her time of greatest need, she
fears more than anything the prospect of following in her
footsteps. "[N]either literary nor artistic, neither picturesque
like Jenny nor clever like Rosalind," Elsie is a textbook middle
child, destined to go through life on her own terms, yet unequipped
with the drive or willingness to conform possessed by her sisters.
On a whim, she decides to embark for Italy to work as a governess
for the Marchesa Brogi. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition Amy Levy's Miss
Meredith is a classic work of British literature reimagined for
modern readers.
