| Summary |
"The Adventures of Harry Richmond — Volume 4" by George Meredith is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers around Harry Richmond, a young man navigating the complexities of his relationships and his evolving identity as he comes of age. Themes of romance, social expectations, and personal aspirations are intertwined throughout his journey. At the start of the volume, Harry reflects on his life as he celebrates his twenty-first birthday. He grapples with familial expectations, particularly regarding his friendship with Janet Ilchester and his fascination with Princess Ottilia. The various women in Harry's life, including the boisterous Janet and the enigmatic Kiomi, illuminate his struggles with love and self-discovery. Meanwhile, his impending travels to the Continent, a customary practice for young gentlemen of his status, promise new experiences and challenges. The opening portion sets the stage for Harry's romantic entanglements, character development, and the tensions between duty and desire as he embarks on a journey of exploration both in the world and within himself.
