Demos

Demos is George Gissing’s searching novel of class, inheritance and political faith in late-Victorian England. When a working man of socialist conviction comes into unexpected wealth, the distance between principle and comfort begins to tell upon him, his family and the community that watches. Gissing, always a sharp observer of money and manners, sets idealism against the stubborn facts of English social life.
