Town Traveller

by George Gissing

The Town Traveller is a novel by George Gissing that tells the story of a British salesman living in a lower class part of London in the Victorian era. The story depicts his interactions with his neighbors, and thus brings us images and vocabulary of personal exchanges, street scenes, and practices of that time and class. The story is generally lighthearted and the action fast paced, although the characters are not at all intricate.
