Approaching its subject both contextually and comparatively, George
Gissing and the Woman Question reads Gissing's novels, short
stories and personal writings as a crux in European fiction's
formulations of gender and sexuality. The collection places Gissing
alongside nineteenth- and twentieth-century authors as diverse as
Paul Bourget, Ella Hepworth Dixon, May Sinclair and Theodore
Dreiser, theorizing the ways in which late-Victorian sexual
difference is challenged, explored and performed in Gissing's work.
In addition to analyzing the major novels, essays make a case for
Gissing as a significant short story writer and address Gissing's
own life and afterlife in ways that avoid biographical mimetics.
The contributors also place Gissing's work in relation to
discourses of subjectivity and intersubjectivity, identity, public
space, class and labour, especially literary production.
Increasingly viewed as a key chronicler of the late Victorian
period's various redefinitions of sexual difference, Gissing is
here recognized as a sincere, uncompromising chronicler of social
change.
