| | 1. |  | New Grub Street (Oxford World's Classics)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $9.41
Customer Review:
Not for Gissing the frivolities of gossipy goings on in picturesque country towns. "New Grub Street" is the
story of what faced the majority of writers in the latter part of the 19th Century - writing for Mudies, the
huge circulating library and trying to pad out slight novels into three... more info

from The Bodley Head
Customer Review:
NEW GRUB STREET is a well made novel that focuses on three interacting families.

| | 4. |  | The Odd Women (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $7.50
Customer Review:
This is a lesser-known classic that deserves more recognition that it gets. It is a novel about the plight of single "old maid" women during the victorian era. Back then, women who would not or could not get married were condemned to a life of poverty and despair. They survived only by working in... more info

| | 6. |  | The Nether World (Oxford World's Classics)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $42.16
Customer Review:
In "The Nether World," Gissing gives you another one of his hard, realistic looks at life in London in Victorian times. This time he focuses on the poorest of the poor in the Clerkenwell area of London. These are people whom England's infantile labor laws generally can't help. If/When they can find... more info

| | 8. | ![In the Year of Jubilee: A Novel [ 1895 ]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/211gpsWjpDL._SL160_.jpg) | In the Year of Jubilee: A Novel [ 1895 ]
from Cornell University Library
Price: $26.99
Customer Review:
Sad to say, most people, even those who are fans of Victorian-era literature, have probably never heard of George Gissing. Those who do know him think perhaps he was a 'one hit wonder' with New Grub Street. While New Grub Street is a brilliant read, his little known In the Year of the Jubilee (IYJ)... more info

| | 9. |  | Born in Exile: A Novel, Volume I
from BiblioLife
Price: $18.98
Customer Review:
It seems astounding to me that Gissing is so over-looked, as he has much to offer readers. It seems that his body of work is unjustifiably ignored even by afficianados of Victorian fiction and persons interested in the transformations from late 1800s into the modern, industrial 20th century. Gissing... more info
