› Find signed collectible books: 'In the Year of Jubilee'Book summary:The fiftieth anniversary of Victoria's reign is a year of celebration and, for young Londoners, a year to experience adult society. After the Jubilee, it will be time to face the consequences of innocent pleasures and frivolous pursuits. A cigarette-smoking business woman, an "examination girl," and an ad man complete the cast for Gissing's (1857-1903) pessimistic evaluation of mass culture. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Nether World'Book summary:The Nether World (1889), generally regarded as the finest of Gissing's early novels, is a highly dramatic, sometimes violent tale of man's caustic vision shaped by the bitter personal experience of poverty. This tale of intrigue depicts life among the artisans, factory-girls, and slum-dwellers, documenting an inescapable world devoid of sentimentality and steeped with people scheming and struggling to survive. With Zolaesque intensity and relentlessness, Gissing lays bare the economic forces which determine the aspirations and expectations of those born to a life of labor. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'New Grub Street'Book summary:Hailed as Gissings finest novel, New Grub Street portrays the intrigues and hardships of the publishing world in late Victorian England. In a materialistic, class-conscious society that rewards commercial savvy over artistic achievement, authors and scholars struggle to earn a living without compromising their standards. Even as the novel chills us with its still-recognizable portrayal of the crass and vulgar world of literary endeavor, writes Francine Prose in her Introduction, its very existence provides eloquent, encouraging proof of the fact that a powerful, honest writer can transcend the constraints of commerce.
This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the text of the 1891 first edition. [via]More editions of New Grub Street:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Odd Women'Book summary:"[Gissing] achieved one of the very few novels in English that can be compared with those of the French naturalists who were his contemporaries." Walter Allen, The English Novel
Five odd womenwomen without husbandsare the subject of this powerful novel, set in Victorian London, by a writer whose perceptions about people, particularly women, would be remarkable in any age and are extraordinary in the 1890s. The story concerns the choices that five different women have to make and what those choices imply about men's and women's status in society and relationship to each other.
Alice and Virginia Madden, suddenly left adrift by the death of their improvident father, must take grinding and humiliating "genteel" work. Terrified of sharing their fate, their younger sister Monica accepts a proposal of marriage from a man who gives her financial security but makes her life wretched.
Interwoven with their fortunes are Mary Barfoot and Rhoda Nunn, who are dedicating their lives to training young women in skills they can use to support themselves. Their broader aim is to help free both sexes from whatever distorts or depletes their humanityincluding, if necessary, marriage. Into their lives comes Mary's forceful and engaging cousin, Everard Barfoot, and as he and Rhoda become locked in an increasingly significant and passionate struggle, Rhoda finds out through the refining fire what "love" sometimes means and what it means to be true to herself.
