"The Disowned — Complete" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton follows two separate protagonists who are disowned by their upper class families. Algernon Mordaunt is disinherited by his family after marrying the penniless orphan Isabel St Leger and never recovers from the separation. By contrast Clarence Linden, from an aristocratic background, manages to carve a life for himself amongst the middle classes of London and eventually marries an heiress.
