The Collected Letters of George Gissing Volume 3
1886–1888
By George Gissing
·
Edited by Paul F. Mattheisen, Arthur C. Young, and Pierre Coustillas
For many years, the only Gissing letters available to the public were those in the modest selection of letters to his family published in 1927. In the following years a good number were published separately in such places as journals, memoirs, and sales catalogues, but like the single and small groups of unpublished letters scattered in libraries around the world, they remained in practical terms inaccessible.
