Born in Exile

Born in Exile by George Gissing is a compelling exploration of ambition, identity, and the tension between idealism and pragmatism. The novel follows Godwin Peak, a fiercely intelligent and principled man from a working-class background, as he strives to transcend his humble origins through education and intellectual pursuits. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, Godwin faces societal prejudice and personal struggles as he navigates love, career, and moral dilemmas. His relationships with two women—the gentle, supportive Muriel Tarrant and the spirited, unconventional Marcella Wykes—highlight the conflicts between duty and desire. Gissing examines the barriers imposed by class divisions and the sacrifices demanded by ambition, offering a poignant critique of societal expectations. Born in Exile is both a deeply human story of aspiration and alienation and a sharp commentary on the constraints of class and culture in an era of rigid hierarchies.
