About This Novel

This is the first research monograph in China on the British writer George Gissing (1857-1903). This book shows that as an indispensable part of the British cultural landscape in the late 19th century, Gissing's novels profoundly pondered the cultural proposition of the "writer's existential crisis" in the process of British modernization. These works not only vividly presented the writer's danger and opportunity in modern mythology, but also dissected the causes of the crisis in rich images. In the reflection and challenge of modernity in British literature in the 19th century, Gissing was unique and carved an indelible mark in the history of British progressive thinking.
