In The Bascombe Valley Mystery, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle paid him homage when Holmes says to Watson: "And now let us talk about George Meredith, if you please, and we shall leave all minor matters until to-morrow." His Italian romance, Vittoria, introduces "peasants, citizens, and soldiers who are not simply correct, but vital; every figure in 'Vittoria' throbs with reality."
