Softcover. Condition: New. First published in 1887, Gissing intended Thyrza to contain the very spirit of London working-class life. His story tells of Walter Egremont, an Oxford-trained idealist who gives lectures on literature to workers, some of them from his fathers Lambeth factory. Thyrza Trent, a young hat-trimmer, meets and falls in love with him, forsaking Gilbert Grail, an intelligent working man who Egremont has put in charge of his library.In a tale of ambition, betrayal and disillusionment, Gissings heroine aspires to purity and self-improvement. Trapped by birth and circumstance, she is unable to escape her destiny. Thyrza Trent is the embodiment of Gissings preoccupation with sex, class and money, and through her he exposes a society intrinsically opposed to social mobility.In a letter Gissing wrote, Thyrza herself is one of the most beautiful dreams I ever had or shall have. I value the book really more than anything I have yet done. Contemporary critics praised Gissings profoundknowledge of the London poor and his courageous presentation of truth. His unforgettable portrayal of urban poverty describes the meanness and inveterate grime of the Caledonian Road and a Lambeth redolent with oleaginous matter.Thyrza is a powerful, shocking and unforgettable novel.This new scholarly edition, the first for over twenty-five years, includes: critical introduction by Pierre Coustillas author biography select bibliography explanatory endnotes specially-commissioned maps of London and Sussex essay on Thyrzas geography by Richard Dennis essay on Gissings revision of Thyrza by David GryllsPierre Coustillas is editor of the Gissing Journal and has co-edited the nine volumes of The Collected Letters of George Gissing (Ohio University Press, 1990-7). He is the author of George Gissing: The Definitive Bibliography (Rivendale Press, 2005), The Heroic Life of George Gissing (3 vols, Pickering & Chatto, 2011-12) and co-editor of George Gissing: The Critical Heritage (Routledge, 1972).
