Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First American Edition. First American edition. Half inch jacket tear along top edge of first volume, both jackets soiled, ink stamp on front endpapers of each. 1935 Hard Cover. lv, 374; 436 pp. Two volume set. Author's first published book, originally printed in 1880 but not released in U.S. until this edition. Workers in the Dawn is a novel by George Gissing, which was originally published in three volumes in 1880. It was the first of Gissing's published novels, although he had been working on another prior to this. The work focuses on the unhappy marriage of Arthur Golding, a rising artist from a poor background, and Carrie Mitchell, a prostitute. This plot was partly based on Gissing's negative experiences of marriage to his first wife. It also was designed to serve the function of political polemic, highlighting social issues that Gissing felt strongly about. Reviews of the novel generally recognised some potential in the author, but were critical of Workers in the Dawn. After reading the first known published review in the Athenaeum, Gissing was driven to describe critics as "unprincipled vagabonds".--Wikipedia.
