by Paul Delany
Published by Weidenfeld and Nicolson. 1st. 2008
Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. George Gissing was an English novelist. Throughout his adult life, Gissing's difficult financial situation was exacerbated by the responsibility he felt to support his family. But the focus of Delany's book is on Gissing's mistakes as a young man and on his lifelong difficulty with women and sexuality. Maroon cloth boards, gilt title to spine. A few b/w photos. xiii and 444 pages including index.
Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly scuffed to rear panel. A lovely copy.
