This is George Gissing s best known and his first novel, standing alongside his classic New Grub Street. It is a distinctive, polemical, dramatic work focused on urban social problems. Gissing deals - with his typical passion, literary skill, and personal knowledge - with the ineluctable evils of poverty, cultural deprivation, class , the tyranny of money , and the place of women in society. First published in 3-volumes in 1880 this is the best modern edition, with an extensive critical introduction and detailed scholarly notes.
