Heralded by Virginia Woolf as “one of the extremely rare novelists who believes in the power of the mind, who makes his people think,” George Gissing (1857-1903) was one of the most influential British writers of the late-Victorian period. This study provides a chronological survey of his major writings, reviews some of the seminal as well as more recent scholarship about them, and suggests the critical interest of his oeuvre for modern readers. Beginning with an examination of his juvenilia, it maps Gissing’s engagement with and his responses to contemporary debates regarding a succession of pressing social and literary issues including the city and its working class, the Woman Question, consumerism and the life of writing, and the critical reassessment of Dickens. Tom Ue’s attentive analysis explores Gissing’s writing in the light of a number of critical and theoretical traditions and reveals how closely he reflected on contemporaneous social and cultural changes across his novels, short stories, poems, and criticism.

Mapping Arthur Conan Doyle's Modernities: 1887-1929 brings together original contributions by leading scholars Ian Duncan, Owen Dudley Edwards, Michael Saler, Jeremy Tambling, Conan Doyle biographers Jon Lellenberg and Daniel Stashower, and early career academics. Early definitions of modernity (usually proffered by social scientists) were teleological, positing it as progressive, secular, and rational. Others (often humanists) have distinguished 'modernism,' with its faith in essences, foundations, and 'metanarratives' in general, from 'postmodernism,' with its rejection of essentialist metanarratives and embrace of metafictions and privileging of the discursive turn (see, for instance, Matei Călinescu, who identifies modernity as a symptom of five faces: modernity, avant-garde, decadence, kitsch, and postmodernism). Conan Doyle's work and its reception clearly challenges both received models. His oeuvre embraces the imagination as well as reason, spirituality and secularity, the presence of the past in the future—all undermining the teleological definition. His work, and that of the mass culture of the fin de siècle in general, was frequently ironic and metafictional, challenging the modernist/postmodernist divide. The analyses of Conan Doyle's works and their reception in this volume present a far more complex picture of modernity than neater models allow.

This anthology illustrates the underlying links between two popular modern genres: detective fiction and science fiction. The fact that these genres are central to modern popular culture expresses something specific about the nature of modernity. By highlighting the commonalities between the two genres in Conan Doyle's work (especially the commingling of reason and the imagination), we will gain a more nuanced understanding of its complexities. Underscoring fundamental features of modernism and modernity, while showing how they combine the Romantic imagination with Enlightenment reason, this anthology will appeal to literature and mass culture students, scholars, enthusiasts, and beyond.

The final work to be published in Gissing’s lifetime, The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft (1903) has long been considered a masterpiece, the equal of New Grub Street (1891), and his most autobiographical work. This variorum edition provides an authoritative and annotated text, reinstating Gissing’s index to the book, which had been reprinted in almost all editions prior to the 1953 Phoenix House Anniversary edition and which should be considered as a part of Gissing’s text. It is prefaced by an informative introduction that explores the work’s sources and inspirations, composition, publication, and reception; includes comprehensive listing of textual variants and emendations between the Fortnightly Review and the 1903 text; and, for the first time ever, prints his manuscript draft of Ryecroft. Although discussed at length in Walter T. Spencer’s Forty Years in My Bookshop (London: Constable, 1923), the bilingual edition of the work edited by Pierre Coustillas (Paris: Aubier, 1966), and George Gissing: The Definitive Bibliography edited by Coustillas (High Wycombe: Rivendale P, 2005), the manuscript, held at Lilly Library Manuscripts Collections in Indiana University, has never before been published.
