‘Mr. Gissing’s writing is bright and strong, his humour is delightful, and his satire is easy and yet restrained.’
—Speaker.
‘Mr. Gissing has produced a very powerful book.... Full of clever touches on literary and social matters.’—Saturday Review.
‘The book is decidedly forcible, and, to a great extent, the result of experience.’ Athenæum.
‘Mr. Gissing’s new book is the best bit of work he has done since “Thyrza.” In none of his recent novels has there been such reality of feeling, such pathos, such careful yet broad analysis of character. Mr. Gissing’s characters are real living men and women; they are drawn with great skill, sympathy, and truth.’—Guardian.
