Gessing satirizes the idea of these unmarried women as being noble and instead sees them as just unusual. Mary is self-sufficient and runs of school to train female office workers. The Madden sisters have low paying jobs and not much in the way of comforts. When the youngest Madden sister plans a marriage the novel focuses on societies feelings about contemporary beliefs concerning the odd woman's value. Annotation: This book features the stories of women who did not follow the Victorian norm of marriage and instead opted to pursue careers. They often had a hard time making ends meet, however, and their circumstances are contrasted with those of women caught in unhappy marriages. The conflicts between the men and the women in the book are not so different from the conflicts the sexes are still having.

I never look forward more than a year or two at the utmost, it is the habit of my mind, in utter sincerity, to expect no longer tenure of life than that. I don't know how this has come about; perhaps my absolute loneliness has something to do with it.

THE GEORGE GISSING WEBSITE English Novelist and Man of Letters (1857-1903) This site celebrates Gissing's achievement and publishes material on Gissing's life and works. It also acts as a clearing-house for information about Gissing studies. George Gissing was a late-Victorian English writer best remembered for his novels New Grub Street and The Odd Women , but these are the highlights of a career which, though short, was marked by relentless industry: he wrote another 21 novels, more than a hundred short stories, a travel book, literary criticism, essays, and enough letters to fill several volumes. The details of his private life, which for much of his time was very unhappy, have fascinated generations of readers; it is covered here in a brief biographical sketch Though he came from a middle-class provincial background (his father was a chemist in Wakefield) and was originally destined for an academic career, Gissing's first novels, published in the 1880s, were grimly realistic studies of London slum life, which Gissing perforce knew at first hand: the best are The Unclassed

George Gissing George Gissing Search all of George Gissing Advanced Search George Gissing (1857-1903) English author considered one of the most valuable contributors to late Victorian era literature, author of New Grub Street George Robert Gissing was born on 22 November 1857 at Thompson's Yard, Westgate, Wakefield, Yorkshire, England. His father, who died when he was thirteen, Thomas Waller Gissing (1829–1870), was a chemist from a family of Suffolk shoemakers and his mother was Margaret Bedford (1832–1913). Gissing had four siblings; William, Algernon, Margaret, and Ellen. Young George was an avid reader and took advantage of the extensive family library. Though genial and bookish he was well-liked and had many friends while attending Back Lane School, Wakefield. Early on he won prizes for his poetry. He had a relatively stable childhood until his father died in 1870; he lost his main guiding force in his intellectual development. This, the first of a number of unfortunate circumstances, would have a profound and negative effect on George and his outlook on life. In the first of his many achievements to come, 1872 saw Gissing place twelfth in the kingdom in the Oxford local examinations. He won a scholarship to Owens College (now the University of Manchester). In 1874 he took his BA exam at the University of London where he placed first in England for both English and Latin and graduated in 1876.
