Love and Mr. Lewisham by H. G. Wells
"Love and Mr. Lewisham" by H. G. Wells is a novel published in 1900. An eighteen-year-old teacher falls in love with a young woman, loses his position, and later reunites with her in London while studying science. Their marriage forces him to abandon his dreams of a brilliant career. The story explores the tension between ambition and love, closely mirroring events from Wells's own life as a struggling student and teacher in
1880s England. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
