Description

Explore the complex social landscape of fin-de-siele London through this scholarly study by Liggins. This book examines how George Gissing's realist fiction captures the evolution of class and gender identities within the urban environment. By looking at the influence of the French naturalist school, the text provides a deep look into how the city shaped new social structures. This academic work analyzes major texts including The Odd Women, New Grub Street, and The Nether World, alongside lesser-known short stories. It specifically focuses on the debates surrounding the working woman and the formation of new identities from the 1880s onward. It is an essential resource for readers interested in literary theory, Victorian urban culture, and the history of gender roles in literature.
