Description
George Gissing (1857-1903) was an English author who is considered one of the most important novelist and short story writer of the late Victorian period. His works are distinguished by naturalistic description of the urban poverty and underclass, the vulgarity of contemporary civilization and commercialization of literature. Noted as an important assignee of the naturalistic genre, Gissing wrote numerous novels and short stories, most of them were published between 1880 and 1903. “A Poor Gentleman” is one of them.
