Résumé
"Celt and Saxon" by George Meredith explores the intricate dynamics between Irish and English cultures through the lens of family and personal relationships. The narrative follows Patrick O'Donnell, a young Irishman, as he visits the English estate of Earlsfont, owned by the Adister family. Patrick's primary mission is to obtain the address of Adiante Adister, his brother Philip's former lover, who has mysteriously disappeared. Throughout his stay, Patrick navigates the cultural and emotional tensions between the Irish and English, as well as the personal conflicts within the Adister family. The story delves into themes of loyalty, identity, and the impact of historical grievances on personal relationships. Patrick's interactions with the Adisters, particularly with Caroline, reveal the complexities of familial duty and personal desire. The novel also touches on the broader socio-political context, highlighting the differences in national character and the challenges of maintaining unity within a diverse empire. Meredith's work is a rich tapestry of character studies and cultural commentary, offering insights into the human condition and the enduring influence of heritage and history.
