Book Synopsis Thyrza. a Tale, by George Gissing (Novel) Classic Reprint by : George Gissing
Download or read book Thyrza. a Tale, by George Gissing (Novel) Classic Reprint written by George Gissing and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1880 and 1903 George Gissing wrote 23 novels. His early works were naturalistic and later he wrote in a realistic style. Gissing it considered to be a late Victorian author. Gissing tells the story of the martyrdom of Thyrza Tennant. She is pregnant by Andy McAdam; who not only refuses to marry her, but also marries her sister Laura instead. Thyrza never reveals the identity of the father. Barton Gorse loves Thyrza and wants to marry her, but she refuses believing that if she does marry him everyone will think Barton is the father. Thyrza is a woman of strength and high character.The late Victorian novelist George Gissing (1857 -- 1905) is best known for "New Grub Street" and "The Odd Women," two books that he wrote in mid-life. Other that these two novels, Gissing's works frequently are difficult to find. Interested readers frequently must search for dubious offprint editions. This is particularly the case for Gissing's earlier books which have a strongly personal, autobiographical component. Of his first seven novels, six are set among the working class poor of London. A small English publisher called Victorian Secrets has assumed the role of publishing Victorian novels that tend to be forgotten, including several novels of Gissing. In 2010, Victorian Secrets published Gissing's rare first novel, "Workers in the Dawn," followed in 2011 by Gissing's third novel, "Demos." Victorian Secrets has now published Gissing's fifth novel, "Thyrza," written in 1887 and published in a revised edition in 1891. As does its companions, the Victorian Secrets edition of "Thyrza" is beautifully produced with a readable, reliable version of the text. Pierre Coustillas, the distinguished Gissing scholar and the author of a recent three-volume biography, edited the volume, as well as the earlier two volumes, prepared the endnotes, and wrote an insightful introduction to the book. The introductionincludes as well a short biography of Gissing and a bibliography of studies of "Thyrza." The edition includes as well an essay by David Gryllis, Kellogg College, Oxford, discussing the changes Gissing made in the book between the first version in 1887 and the revised version of 1891. Finally, the book includes maps of the two "worlds" inhabited by the primary characters of the book, Thyrza Trent and Walter Egremont. Thyrza's world centers upon the working class community of Lambeth while Egremont is more at home in the Lake District and in Eastbourne. While this edition makes "Thyrza" accessible to new readers, it offers something new to those who already know the book. Virtually every edition and reprint of the book uses Gissing's 1891 revision. In this edition, Coustillas opts to use Gissing's original 1887 text. He thus takes an already long text and makes it somewhat longer. In the revised version, Gissing eliminated some narrative editorializing and also cut an extensive sub-plot that occurs in the final third of the novel. Readers familiar with other editions of "Thyrza" will be able to compare the two versions. Those new to the book will have a longer read than otherwise, but they will get to know "Thyrza." It is valuable for readers devoted to Gissing to have the original version available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Robert Gissing (22 November 1857 - 28 December 1903) was an English novelist who published 23 novels between 1880 and 1903. Gissing also worked as a teacher and tutor throughout his life. He published his first novel, Workers in the Dawn, in 1880. His best known novels, which are published in modern editions, include The Nether World (1889), New Grub Street (1891), and The Odd Women (1893). Early life: Gissing was born on 22 November 1857 in Wakefield, Yorkshire, the eldest of five children of Thomas Waller Gissing, who ran a chemist's shop, and Margaret née Bedford. His siblings were: William, who died aged twenty; Algernon, who became a writer; Margaret; and Ellen. His childhood home in Thompson's Yard, Wakefield, is maintained by The Gissing Trust. Gissing was educated at Back Lane School in Wakefield, where he was a diligent and enthusiastic student. His serious interest in books began at the age of ten when he read The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens and subsequently, encouraged by his father and inspired by the family library, his literary interest grew. Juvenilia written at this time was published in 1995 in The Poetry of George Gissing. He was also skilled at drawing. Gissing's father died when he was 12 years old, and he and his brothers were sent to Lindow Grove School at Alderley Edge in Cheshire, where he was a solitary student who studied hard. In 1872, after an exceptional performance in the Oxford Local Examinations, Gissing won a scholarship to Owens College, forerunner of the University of Manchester. There he remained solitary, continued his intense studies, and won many prizes, including the Poem Prize in 1873 and the Shakespeare scholarship in 1875. Gissing's academic career ended in disgrace when he fell in love with a young woman Marianne Helen Harrison, known as Nell. She is often described as a prostitute, but there is no evidence for this. It is reported that he gave her money in an attempt to keep her off the streets, but, again, there is no evidence. What is known, is that when he ran short of money he stole from his fellow students. The college hired a detective to investigate the thefts, and Gissing was prosecuted, found guilty, expelled and sentenced to a month's hard labour in Belle Vue Gaol, Manchester in 1876.In September 1876, with support from sympathisers, he travelled to the United States, where he spent time in Boston and Waltham, Massachusetts writing and teaching classics.When his money ran out he moved to Chicago, where he earned a precarious living writing short stories for newspapers, including the Chicago Tribune. He lived in poverty until he met a travelling salesman in need of an assistant and Gissing demonstrated his products. These experiences partially inspired his 1891 novel, New Grub Street. In September 1877, Gissing left America and returned to England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Gissing (1857-1903) was an English novelist, who wrote twenty-three novels between 1880 and 1903. Although his early works are naturalistic, he developed into one of the the most accomplished realists of the late-Victorian era. Born in Wakefield, Yorkshire, to lower-middle class parents, Gissing went on to win a scholarship to Owens College, the present day University of Manchester. A brilliant student, he excelled at university, winning many coveted prizes, including the Shakespeare prize in 1875. Between 1891 and 1897 (his so-called middle period) he produced his best works, which include New Grub Street, Born in Exile, The Odd Women, In the Year of Jubilee, and The Whirlpool. The middle years of the decade saw his reputation reach new heights: by some critics he is counted alongside George Meredith and Thomas Hardy as one of the best three novelists of his day. He also enjoyed new friendships with fellow writers such as Henry James, and H. G. Wells, and came into contact with many other up and coming writers such as Joseph Conrad and Stephen Crane
Download or read book George Gissing written by Martin Ryle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once seen as a relatively marginal figure, George Gissing (1857-1903) persists in sparking interest among new generations of radical critics who continue to be inspired by his work and to develop fresh approaches to it. This essay collection, bringing together British, European, and North American literary critics and cultural historians with diverse specialities and interests, demonstrates the range of contemporary perspectives through which his fiction can be viewed. Offering both closely contextualized historical readings and broader cultural and philosophical assessments, the contributions will engage not only the specialist but those interested in the diverse themes that absorbed Gissing: the cultural and social formation of class and gender, social mobility and its unsettling effects on individual and collective identities, the place of writing in emerging mass culture, and the possibilities and limits of fiction as critical intervention.
