George Gissing

George Gissing was a British author who primarily wrote in English.

George Gissing (1857–1903) was a British novelist known for his realistic and often grim portrayals of Victorian urban life. His works, including “New Grub Street” and “The Odd Women,” explored themes of poverty, class struggle, and the challenges faced by aspiring writers. Gissing’s writing provided a stark contrast to the romanticized literature of his time.
