Born in Portsmouth in 1828, George Meredith was an English novelist and poet. Here, I am going to concentrate on Meredith's poetry. A very prolific poet, Meredith wrote on many subjects, and here I will focus on his works about nature.

Surrey - Without a Fringe on Top...
Over the last 20 years or so, Americans have oft engaged me in the following conversation :
American : "Where are you from in England?"
Me : "Surrey."
American (thinking I said "sorry") : "Where are you from in England?"
In this country, the term "surrey" is best known as a mode of transport, as in the song The Surrey with the Fringe on Top from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, Oklahoma!
