Born In Exile - 9781546794066

Born in Exile is a novel by George Gissing first published in 1892.[1] It deals with the themes of class, religion, love and marriage. The premise of the novel is drawn from Gissing's own early life - an intellectually superior man born into a socially inferior milieu, though the story arc diverges significantly from the actuality. The main protagonist, Godwin Peak, is a star student at Whitelaw College, which he won a scholarship to attend. He wins many academic prizes and his future seems promising. Then his Cockney uncle arrives intending to open an eating-house adjacent to the college.
