The present thesis is an analysis of contemporary British author Rupert Thomson’s 2005 novel entitled Divided Kingdom. In the novel the authorities create new borders, forming a dystopian dismembered kingdom from the United Kingdom. Besides briefly looking at the dystopic features of the divided kingdom’s society, in this thesis I focus on the protagonist’s subjective world, the importance of memory and nostalgia which are the his driving force to set out on a journey. The protagonist goes through a psychological development the main stages of which are his threshold and border-crossings and his wanderings with the White People.
