His promising future as a scholar was curtailed by his expulsion from Owens College (later the Univ. of Manchester) because of his association with a young prostitute whom he later married. Years of poverty and hard work followed. He visited America in 1876-77 and wrote several short stories for the Chicago Tribune. New Grub Street (1891), his best-known work, depicts the dilemma of the poverty-stricken artist in an alien world. Other works include Thyrza The Nether World Born in Exile (1892), and The Whirlpool (1897). In By the Ionian Sea (1901) and in the somewhat autobiographic Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft (1903), Gissing reveals his love of books and the past. His excellent critical study (1898) of Charles Dickens, whose works greatly influenced him, is still read.

Clara Collet and George Gissing "On my way home at night an anguish of suffering in the thought that I can never hope to have an intellectual companion at home. Condemned for ever to associate with inferiors - and so crassly unintelligent. Never a word exchanged on anything but the paltry everyday life of the household. Never a word to me, from anyone, of understanding, sympathy or of encouragement." ( London and the Life of Literature in Late Victorian England The Diary of George Gissing (London: The Harvester Press, 1978) 24 Jan 1893 George Gissing 1857-1903 George Gissing's life had been difficult almost from the beginning. He had grown up as the son of a pharmaceutical chemist in Wakefield, Yorkshire. For the first thirteen years his life had been one of pleasure and happiness, but at that age his father died leaving his mother to try to bring up their five children. George managed to gain a place, with financial help from a friend, at Owens College Manchester. This meant leaving his home and living in lodgings at the very young age of 16. Despite being brilliant academically, he was unable to cope socially with such a break from home. In order to relieve his loneliness he befriended a prostitute, Nell, for whom he had ideas of reform. Unfortunately, despite her beauty and tender years, she had already become a hopeless alcoholic. Gissing, determined to keep her from the streets, was forced to steal from his fellow students in order to pay for Nell's gin. He was caught in the act and sent for one month's hard labour.

George Robert Gissing Biography Novelist; left Owens College, Manchester , in disgrace for America, where he wandered penniless until 1877; studied literature and philosophy at Jena; returned to England, 1878; published Workers in the Dawn (1880); found an appreciative reader in Frederic Harrison, to whose sons he became tutor, 1882; gained precarious livelihood by occasional journalism; published The Unclassed Demos (1886), and other novels illustrating degrading effects of poverty on character; visited Naples, Rome, and Athens; published A Life’s Morning The Nether World The Emancipated New Grub Street Born in Exile (1892), and The Odd Women (1893); revisited Italy with H. G. Wells, 1897, recording some experiences and impressions in By the Ionian Sea (1901); in Rome he found material for historical romance Veranilda (published posthumously, 1907); on return to England wrote The Town Traveller (1898) and Our Friend the Charlatan (1901); died of pneumonia at St Jean-de-Luz Some of his conclusions were conservative, but at heart he was a late-Victorian rebel against the power of convention. His rebellion was muted because he was preoccupied with failure. He had collected as great a store of specialized information about people who failed as Samuel Smiles had collected of people who succeeded.

Gissing, George Robert (1857-1903) Englischer Schriftsteller. Gissings Romane porträtieren vorrangig das Leben der Arbeiterschicht und sind häufig autobiographischen Charakters. Schon in seinen Erstlingen "Workers in the Dawn" "Arbeiter im Morgengrauen" ) und "The Unclassed" "Die Klassenlosen" ) zeichnete er ein eindringliches Bild von der Wirkung desolater sozialer Verhältnisse auf die Psyche der Betroffenen und die zerstörerischen Auswirkungen der Armut. Gissing befand sich aufgrund des bescheidenen Erfolgs seiner Bücher selbst permanent in finanziellen Schwierigkeiten, das positive Echo von "Demos" (1886) blieb die Ausnahme. Die meisten seiner fast 30 Romane verkauften sich schlecht, obwohl sie meisterhafte Schilderungen der sozialen Verhältnisse und des pulsierenden Lebens der Metropole London enthalten. Darüber hinaus stellen sie bittere Anklagen gegen die Mechanismen und Werte einer profitorientierten Gesellschaft dar. Neben "The Nether World" ( 1889) gelten die autobiographischen Studien "New Grub Street" (1891) und "Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft" (1903) als Gissings profilierteste Werke.

GISSING (GEORGE, 1857-1903, novelist ) FINE AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED ('George Gissing'), to his old school friend, Dr Harry Hick ( d .1932), giving his opinion of Thomas Hardy's recently published last novel Jude the Obscure The Time Machine 3 pages, octavo, Eversley, Worple Road, Epsom, 29 November 1895 This letter is a remarkable statement by one of the three leading novelists of the day on the last work of the greatest of them. Gissing's opinion of the book was, however, in accord with the public reception of Jude the Obscure that finally forced Hardy to the decision to abandon the novel for poetry. Elsewhere Gissing said of it and Tess of the d'Urbervilles : 'Neither of them appeals to me like Hardy's earlier books when the idyllic spirit was unaffected by fierce pessimism...The end of "Tess"...[is] an entire artistic mistake. But I greatly admire Hardy, and am sorry he will write no more fiction. His...verse has but small value.' Gissing views of Hardy as a person were informed at least partly by his own snobbery: he stated that Hardy 'has a good deal of coarseness in his nature - a coarseness explained by humble origin.' Comparing him to Meredith, he thought Hardy 'a man of far less intellectual vigour and distinction...Born a peasant, he yet retains much of the peasant's views of life...He evidently does not read very much, and I grieve to find that he is drawn into merely fashionable society, talks of lords and ladies more than ordinary people...I admire Hardy's best work very highly, but in the man himself I feel disappointed. To my great surprise, I found that he did not know the name of flowers in his own fields...'

George Gissing in Naples By the Ionian Sea Notes of a Ramble in Southern Italy George Robert Gissing (1857-1903) This is the third day of sirocco, heavy-clouded, sunless. All the colour has gone out of Naples; the streets are dusty and stifling. I long for the mountains and the sea. To-morrow I shall leave by the Messina boat, which calls at Paola. It is now more than a twelve-month since I began to think of Paola, and an image of the place has grown in my mind. I picture a little marina; a yellowish little town just above; and behind, rising grandly, the long range of mountains which guard the shore of Calabria. Paola has no special interest that I know of, but it is the nearest point on the coast to Cosenza, which has interest in abundance; by landing here I make a modestly adventurous beginning of my ramble in the South. At Paola foreigners are rare; one may count upon new impressions, and the journey over the hills will be delightful. Happily, the musicians errant still strum their mandoline as you dine. The old trattoria in the Toledo is as good as ever, as bright, as comfortable. I have found my old corner in one of the little rooms, and something of the old gusto for zuppa di vongole. The homely wine of Posillipo smacks as in days gone by, and is commended to one's lips by a song of the South. . . . Return to the Main Page

Geneva - Goebbels Jump Elsewhere Jump Back to Mohandas Gandhi - Genetics Jump Forward to Goethe - Grey River Angus GENEVA City of Switzerland and capital of Gevena canton at the western end of the Lake Geneva on the Rhone. It was founded by the Celts in 1st century BC. During the Middle Ages the populous resented the power of the resident bishops and turned to the counts of Savoy who appointed their own bishops. In 1535 it adopted Protestantism which led to war with Savoy. In 1536, Calvin established theocratic rule that lasted well past his death in 1564. Many radical thinkers were drawn to the city during the 18th century (Rousseau was born there). The French occupied it during the French Revolution and forced it into membership in Napoleon I's Helvetic Republic, Geneva joined the Swiss Confederation in 1815. Between WWI and WWII it was home to the former League of Nations. The International Labour Organisation, World Health Organisation and the International Red Cross are still centred in the city.
