Description

Explore fin-de-siecle London through George Gissing's realist fiction with this Routledge academic study. This book examines how Gissing's work, influenced by French naturalism, captures the emergence of new class and gender identities in urban settings, particularly the role of working women. The analysis spans canonical texts including The Odd Women, New Grub Street, and The Nether World alongside lesser-known short stories, providing comprehensive insight into Gissing's portrayal of city life and social transformation. Ideal for students and scholars of literary theory, cultural history, and Victorian literature seeking to understand how late 19th-century fiction shaped debates about women's work, identity, and place in modern society.
