Gissing’s last collection of short fiction, published after his death with an introductory survey of his work by Thomas Seccombe. A struggling author finds a home in a crumbling house; a book collector must part with his treasures; a scrupulous father, a poor gentleman, a capitalist and a lodge-keeper’s daughter all wrestle with money, pride and the narrow margins of genteel life.
