The Heroic Life of George
Gissing,
Part 1:
1857—1888
Pierre Coustillas
George
Gissing
(1857—1903)
lived a lire worthy of the plot from one of his own novels. An
exceptionally gifted man, born into relatively genteel comfort, he nonetheless managed to
enter into two disastrous marriages with working-class women, got thrown out of university
for stealing, spent a month doing hard labour in prison and died before the age of fifty. It is
all the more surprising then, that he still managed to write twenty-three novels and over a
hundred short stories, as well as works of literary criticism and a travelogue. This ambitious
three-volume biography examines both his life and writing chronologically and in close detail.
Coustillas's exhaustive research is based on all the known surviving
Gissing
correspondence,
Gissing's works and every piece of literary criticism on
Gissing
from
1880
onwards. Press
archives from England, America, the former Colonies, France and Germany have all been
consulted. This approach, by the foremost authority on
Gissing,
allows new insights into his life
and work.
Part I covers Gissing's early life up until his establishment as a writer of moderate critical
success. Gissing's precocious intellectual development propelled him to a scholarship at Owens
College (now the University of Manchester), but while there his ill-advised love affair with the
prostitute Marianne (Nell) Harrison led to him stealing to keep her off the streets and thence
to prison. On release, he sailed for America and lived for a while in Chicago. It was during this
period that he got his first chance as a writer, producing short stories for the Chicago Tribune.
On his return to England
Gissing
married Nell and began teaching and writing novels. These
early works are notable for their focus on poverty and the working classes. |
