New Gissing Biography
A "masterly new biography of Gissing" has just been published--George Gissing: A Life--through Weidenfeld & Nicolson by perhaps the greatest literary scholar to grace SFU, emeritus professor of English, Paul Delany.
"It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." Sherlock Holmes.
