Reviews
A Yankee Book Peddler US Core Title for 2013 A Baker & Taylor Literary Essentials Title 'A luminous, wide-ranging examination of the Victorian novelist George Gissing's relation to various issues related to the conditions, concerns, and representation of women in late-Victorian Britain, George Gissing and the Woman Question has numerous strengths, among them a fresh and searching consideration of a number of lesser-known fictional works by Gissing. An indispensable collection for Gissing scholars and critics of nineteenth-century British fiction'. Richard A. Kaye, Hunter College/The Graduate Center, CUNY, USA, author of The Flirt's Tragedy: Desire without End in Victorian and Edwardian Fiction 'This collection of essays ... in examining Gissing's most important novels and a selection of his short fiction, begin[s] to produce a more holistic picture of the author's portrayals of women and the woman question, without attempting to diminish the complexity or to ignore the variety of those portrayals.'
