"Diana of the Crossways — Volume 5" by George Meredith is the fifth volume of a novel published in 1885. Based on the life of socialite Caroline Norton, it follows Diana Warwick, a beautiful and intelligent but hotheaded woman caught in political and social scandal. Her attempts to advance her husband's career through friendship with a Cabinet Minister lead to alienation, while her efforts to live independently through writing ultimately bring personal and public grief. The story explores women's limited agency in Victorian society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
