Synopsis
The next morning passed in restless debate with himself. He did not cross the way to call upon Eve: the thought of speaking with her on the doorstep of a lodging-house proved intolerable. All day long he kept his post of observation. Other persons he saw leave and enter the house, but Miss Madeley did not come forth. That he could have missed her seemed impossible, for even while eating his meals he remained by the window. Perchance she had left home very early in the morning, but it was unlikely.

About the Author
George Gissing wrote twenty - three novels before his death in 1903. His subject was life as it was lived in the London slums and by the lower classes of ordinary people. A perceptive and informed observer, Gissing wrote on the issues that surrounded him, such as the financial woes of artists and the hardships faced by single, educated women. His works feature psychological analysis and dark humor.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Trade Pasperback in Very Good Condition. First published in 1895. Illustrated brown wraps with white titles, designed by Paul E. Kennedy, clean and unmarked, trace wear to corners, binding tight and solid, square, Internals Fine. Unabridged republication of the edition first published by Lawrence & Bullen, London, 1895. This Dover Edition published in 1980, Pages are sewn in signatures and will not drop out. The binding will not crack or split. English novelist George Gissing, 1857-1903, is noted for his fiction about the shallowness of mass culture, poverty, cynicism, and disillusion that prey upon love and marriage in the modern industrial world. The setting of Eve's Ransom is autobiographically exact, and the theme is freedom. Hilliard is educated but trapped in grimy Birmingham; an unexpected windfall of 436 lbs frees him temporarily and he goes in search of lady he only knows by a photo in his landlady's album. The very English characters are caught in a bizarre but very civilized love triangle. 123 pages plus a catalogue of Dover Books. 5.25 x 8.5 inches. 1980, Dover Publications, New York, New York, USA.
