The book delves into George Gissing's late-Victorian literature, aiming to clarify misconceptions about his personal views as reflected in his social-realist works. It emphasizes his innovative contributions to genre development and the significance of his shorter fiction. Gissing's multilingual background makes his stories particularly valuable for foreign learners of English, providing rich opportunities for intercultural learning. The analysis also advocates for re-evaluating this underrated author in light of contemporary European challenges, urging a renewed appreciation for his literary contributions.
