Summary "Vittoria — Volume 4" by George Meredith is a novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a dramatic and politically charged setting, centering on the eponymous character, Vittoria, a talented prima donna who captivates an Italian audience with her singing at an opera. The story hints at themes of love, national identity, and the personal struggles amid the backdrop of sociopolitical unrest. The opening portion immerses readers in the electrifying atmosphere of an opera performance, where Vittoria's dramatic portrayal of a character named Camilla evokes intense emotions from her audience. As she sings, the audience is skeptical and critical, yet eventually succumbs to her talent. The scene reveals the complexities of her character—caught between her artistic ambitions and the threats facing her, underscored by the presence of political tensions and personal rivalries, particularly concerning her lover, Carlo Ammiani. Moreover, Vittoria's triumph on stage juxtaposes her internal turmoil and foreshadows the troubles that will follow, setting the stage for a narrative rife with conflict and intrigue.
