First published in 2005, this collection of essays brings together
British, European and North American literary critics and cultural
historians with diverse specialities and interests to demonstrate
the range of contemporary perspectives through which George
Gissing's fiction can be viewed. It offers both closely
contextualised historical readings and broader cultural and
philosophical assessments and engages with a number of themes
including: the cultural and social formation of class and gender,
social mobility and its unsettling effects on individual and
collective identities, the place of writing in emerging mass
culture, and the possibility and limits of fiction as critical
intervention. This book will be of interest to those studying the
works of George Gissing, and 19th century literature more broadly.
