The Odd Women (Broadview Literary Texts)

Comments:

When it comes to the complexities of everyday life in late-Victorian London, there is no better guide than Gissing and no better Gissing than The Odd Women. And now, in Arlene Young's carefully edited and annotated edition, we have the definitive guide to Gissing's novel. Students will also find the historical documents gathered in this volume an invaluable resource in the study of the woman question and the sociology of work in the 1890s. - Stephen Arata, University of Virginia

Broadview's enterprise is especially welcome in the case of The Odd Women, Gissing's second most commonly studied novel. [This edition] deserves to become the text of choice for teachers--especially given its modest price. - The Gissing Journal
