Summary "The Case of General Ople and Lady Camper" by George Meredith is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows General Ople, a retired officer who seeks to establish a comfortable life after his military career. His life becomes complicated with the arrival of Lady Camper, an eccentric neighbor whose past and opinions challenge the General's modest ambition and social standing. At the start of the narrative, General Ople embarks on an excursion to evaluate potential homes for himself and his daughter, Elizabeth. As he finds a bijou estate near London, he expresses excitement and idealism about their new life. However, his enthusiasm is soon tempered by the enigmatic presence of Lady Camper, who has a reputation for being both intriguing and aloof. The opening chapters establish the General's character as an amiable yet somewhat naïve man, while also hinting at the complexities that arise from his interactions with Lady Camper and the expectations he harbors for his daughter’s future. Their developing relationship promises to explore themes of social class, the dynamics of attraction, and the contrasts between youth and age. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
