“Beauchamp’s Career — Volume 2” by George Meredith is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. This work continues the story of Nevil Beauchamp, a complex character who grapples with personal ambition, societal expectations, and romantic entanglements while navigating the political landscape of his time.

Amid all this, Beauchamp seeks to pursue a romantic interest in a young French woman, but his ambitions are complicated by misunderstandings and the ongoing influence of his uncle. As the narrative unfolds, Rosamund, his ally, worries about his decisions and associations, particularly with a radical doctor who has gained Beauchamp’s loyalty and shaped his political aspirations.
