The Collected Letters of George Gissing Volume 7
1897–1899
By George Gissing
·
Edited by Paul F. Mattheisen, Arthur C. Young, and Pierre Coustillas
Gissing’s career, which spanned the period of about 1877 to his death in 1903, was characterized by prodigious output (almost a novel a year in the early days), modest recognition, and modest income. He wrote of poverty, socialism, class differences, social reform, and later on, about the problems of women and industrialization.
