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.
About the author
George Robert Gissing (1857–1903) was an English novelist known for his realistic portrayal of the lower middle class, drawing on his own experiences of poverty. His first novel, Workers in the Dawn, failed commercially, but he persevered and achieved fame and success with his anticipatory novels New Grub Street, Born in Exile, and The Whirlpool.
