George Gissing

Author

George Gissing was a Victorian novelist whose unflinching, psychologically acute fiction explored the struggles of the poor and the literary in late nineteenth-century England. His novels, including New Grub Street, The Odd Women, and In the Year of the Jubilee, dissect class, gender, money, and ambition with a realism that anticipates... the twentieth-century novel. Gissing's work has been increasingly recognised as some of the finest fiction of the Victorian era. His audiobooks bring his sharp, compassionate portraits of London life to modern listeners who appreciate social realism with genuine literary depth. Read more Show less
