Modern Love by George Meredith is a sequence of fifty 16-line sonnets about the failure of a marriage, an episodic verse narrative that has been described as "a novella in verse".[1] Earlier working titles for the sequence were "The Love-Match" and then "The Tragedy of Modern Love".[2] It first appeared in 1862 as part of the volume Modern Love and Poems of the English Roadside, published by Chapman & Hall,[3] and then thirty years later, with slight modifications, from Macmillan.[4]
