"New Grub Street" is George Gissing''s 1891 novel set in the writing circles of London in the 1880s. A place that became synonymous with the writing of hack literature, Grub Street is a street in London, England and represents the setting of the novel. It is here that talented and cerebral novelist Edwin Reardon and the semi-scrupulous Jasper Milvain attempt to pursue success, love, and-often above all else-money. As a realistic picture of the literary life in late Victorian England, New Grub Street has few rivals. This classic tale of money versus morals is considered Gissing''s masterpiece and would make for a fantastic addition to any bookshelf. Contents include: "A Man of his Day", "The House of Yule", "Holiday", "An Author and his Wife", "The Way Hither", "Practical Friend", "Marian''s Home", "To The Winning Side", "Invita Minerva", "The Friends of the Family", "Respite" "Work Without Hope", "A Warning", "Recruits", etc. George Robert Gissing (1857-1903) was a British novelist.

No novel in the English tradition even remotely approximates the thoroughness, sophistication, and clear-sightedness with which New Grub Street explores the social and economic contexts in which writing, publishing, and reading take place.
