A consideration of George Gissdng by Walter Allen with Charles E. Stidwill as George Gissing
Production by Douglas Cleverdon
' Poor Gissing.' said Henry James , * struck me ... as quite particularly marked out for what is called in his and my profession an unhappy ending.' Out of his tragic life Gissing produced a number of novels that present, from the point of view of an intellectual who could find for himself no niche in society, a unique picture of the last decades of the nineteenth century in England. In this programme the man and his fiction are discussed by a novelist of today.
