"Evan Harrington — Complete" by George Meredith is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the titular character, Evan Harrington, son of a well-respected yet flawed tailor, Mr. Melchisedec Harrington, who has recently passed away. The narrative explores themes of social class, identity, and the complexities of familial relationships as Evan grapples with the legacy left by his father and the expectations placed upon him by his family and society. The opening of the novel introduces the aftermath of Mr. Harrington's death, with townsfolk reflecting on his life and peculiarities as a tailor who aspired to a higher status. The arrival of Evan's mother, Mrs. Harrington, sets the stage for the challenges that Evan will face in trying to honor his father's memory while navigating the difficult realities of his social standing and the debts left behind. As various characters discuss the implications of Mr. Harrington's life and death, the groundwork is laid for Evan's journey toward defining himself amidst familial pressures and societal expectations.
