New Grub Street ... Second edition

New Grub Street (1891), generally regarded as Gissing's finest novel, is the story of the daily lives and broken dreams of men and women forced to earn a living by the pen. With vivid realism it tells of a group of novelists, journalists, and scholars caught in the literary and cultural crisis that hit Britain in the closing years of the nineteenth century, as universal education, popular journalism, and mass communication began to leave their mark on the life ofintellectuals. Projecting a strong sense of the London in which his characters struggle, Gissing also illuminates `the valley of the s.

  • "New Grub Street portrays the intrigues and hardships of the publishing world in late Victorian England. In a materialistic, class-conscious society that rewards commercial savvy over artistic achievement, authors and scholars struggle to earn a living without compromising their standards."
  • "In "New Grub Street" George Gissing re-created a microcosm of London's literary society as he had experienced it. His novel is at once a major social document and a story that draws us irresistibly into the twilit world of Edwin Reardon, a struggling novelist, and his friends and acquaintances in Grub Street including Jasper Milvain, an ambitious journalist, and Alfred Yule, an embittered critic. Here Gissing brings to life the bitter battles (fought out in obscure garrets or in the Reading Room of the British Museum) between integrity and the dictates of the market place, the miseries of genteel poverty and the damage that failure and hardship do to human personality and relationships."@en
  • "This portrait of toilers in late-nineteenth-century London's literary world depicts abject professional, personal, and marital disappointment -- and the rise of one man who maneuvers to snatch the glittering prizes. Absorbing, ironic, and often extremely (if darkly) funny."@en
  • "George Gissing's New Grub Street has been widely lauded as one of the best novels ever written, but readers who harbor literary ambitions may want to approach this masterwork of realism with caution. By juxtaposing the lives of two very different breeds of writers, Jasper Milvain and Edwin Reardon, Gissing considers the evolving role of writers and literature in the modern world -- and his ultimate assessment is unfailingly bleak."@en
  • "Regarded as Gissing's finest novel, New Grub Street tells the story of the lives and dreams of Jasper Milvain, an ambitious, cynical young writer, and Edwin Reardon, a talented novelist with limited prospects. Set in the literary and journalistic circles of 1880s London, the world that Gissing himself inhabited, this late-Victorian novel is a classic."@en
  • "The Victorian novel presents a picture of a society in which literature has become a commodity and its production a mechanical business."@en
  • ""A novel about the struggles of those who make their living by writing. Gissing contrasts the success of the unscrupulous with the poverty of those with higher standards" --Provided by publisher."@en
  • "George Gissing's classic novel New Grub Street has been enjoyed by readers around the world for almost 120 years. A critique of London's literary scene in the 1880s, the novel's title refers to the infamous Grub Street, an 18th century street that became synonymous with hack literature."@en
