"A Life's Morning" by George Gissing is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story focuses on Wilfrid Athel, an overzealous and intellectually ambitious young man who has recently left Oxford following a health crisis. As we are introduced to the characters and settings, themes of youth, ambition, and the quest for intellectual and emotional fulfillment begin to surface, highlighting not just Wilfrid's struggles but also the lives of those around him such as his father, Mr. Athel, and his governess, Miss Emily Hood. The opening portion of the novel presents Wilfrid’s return to his family home in Surrey after being invalided from university. Despite his delicate health, he is characterized by a vibrant physicality and intense mental pursuits, leading to a misalignment between his body and mind. The dynamics of his family, including relatives like Mrs. Rossall and the twins, as well as conversations around the breakfast table, establish a warm but reflective atmosphere. At the same time, there is an undercurrent of tension as Wilfrid navigates expectations and ambitions, indicating that he may soon confront significant challenges related to his aspirations and relationships, especially with Miss Hood, whose quiet strength and intellect draw his attention. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of character interactions, societal norms, and the pursuit of personal growth.
