    About this ebook

    George Gissing was an English writer noted for the unflinching realism of his novels about the lower middle class. His work is serious—though not without a good deal of comic observation—interesting, scrupulously honest, and rather flat. Gissing was deeply critical, in an almost wholly negative way, of contemporary society. 
    This selection chosen by the critic August Nemo contains the following stories:

    - The House Of Cobwebs
    - A Capitalist
    - Christopherson
    - Humplebee
    - The Scrupulous Father
    - A Poor Gentleman
    - Miss Rodney's Leisure
