George Gissings
work reflects his observations of fin-de-sitdc London life.
Influenced by the French naturalist school, his realist representations of
urban culture testify to the. significance of the city for the development of
new class and gender identities, particularly for women. I.igginss study,
which considers standard texts such as The Odd Woman, New Grub Street, and
The Nether World as well as lesser known short works, examines Gissings
fiction in relation to the formation of these new identities, focusing
specificali}'
on debates about the working woman.
From the 1880s onward, a new genre
oí
urban fiction increasingly focused on
work as a key aspect of the modern woman's identity, elements of which were
developed in the New Woman fiction of the 1890s. Showing his fascination
with the working woman and her narrative potential,
Gissing
portrays
women from a wide variety of occupations, ranging from factory girls,
actresses, prostitutes, and shop-girls to writers, teachers, clerks, and
musicians. Liggins argues that by placing the working woman
al
the center of
his narratives, rather than at the margins.
Gissing
made an important
contribution to the development of urban fiction, which increasingly
reflected current debates about women's presence in the city. |
