Large Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Multiple chips and tears to onionskin jacket. 1964 Large Hardcover. 174 pp. George Robert Gissing (22 November 1857 ? 28 December 1903) was an English novelist, who published 23 novels between 1880 and 1903. His best-known works have reappeared in modern editions and include The Nether World (1889), New Grub Street (1891) and The Odd Women (1893). In July 1898, Gissing met Gabrielle Marie Edith Fleury (1868?1954), a Frenchwoman who approached him for permission to translate New Grub Street. Ten months later, they became partners in a common-law marriage, as Gissing did not divorce Edith. They moved to France, where he remained, returning to England briefly in 1901 for a six-week stay in a sanatorium in Nayland, Suffolk. The couple settled in Paris, but moved to Arcachon when Gissing's health deteriorated. The final years of his life were spent in the villages of Ciboure, near St Jean-de-Luz, and Ispoure, near Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port.[1]--Wikipedia.
