Elizabeth (Alaska) | 214 comments This novel was first published in 1879 and boasts an elaborate and well-wrought narrative. After taking his degree at Cambridge, John Caldigate finds himself heavily in debt to a moneylender, with no means to meet his obligation. His father Daniel Caldigate, disgusted with his extravagance and folly, arranges through his banker for the sale by his son of the reversion of the estate and for a mortgage to clear his debts.
