The Unclassed by George Gissing
A stark portrait of Victorian London, this story follows a disillusioned schoolmaster and would‑be writer who drifts between the slums and the parlors, torn between a pious, sheltered young woman and an independent outsider with a tainted past. As his ambitions falter and loyalties shift, the intertwined lives of the poor, the precarious, and the respectable reveal the cruelty of rigid class lines and the uneasy existence of those who fit into none of them.
