This biography explores the restless mobility and domestic obsessions of a man who felt like a stranger in his own land, mirroring the displacement of his most famous characters. By tracing his journey through the lodgings and chambers of London and the industrial north, the narrative reveals the deep-seated anxieties and volatile attitudes that fueled his creative genius. It is a brilliant study of a writer who, despite being highly admired by his peers, remained a \"born exile\" in both his life and his art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48750379761883,"sku":"2026200005496-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/344141da-d99f-47f2-bbc0-b47f28b123e5.png?v=1778095703","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200005496-secondhand-the-born-exile-george-gissing","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
