Once seen as a relatively marginal figure, George Gissing
(1857-1903) persists in sparking interest among new generations of
radical critics who continue to be inspired by his work and to
develop fresh approaches to it. This essay collection, bringing
together British, European, and North American literary critics and
cultural historians with diverse specialities and interests,
demonstrates the range of contemporary perspectives through which
his fiction can be viewed. Offering both closely contextualized
historical readings and broader cultural and philosophical
assessments, the contributions will engage not only the specialist
but those interested in the diverse themes that absorbed Gissing:
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
possibilities and limits of fiction as critical intervention.
