'As a study of feminine nature, "A Life's Morning" is, perhaps, the most successful of all Mr. Gissing's works, and deserves to be fully as popular as its predecessors.' Pall Mall Gazette.
'A story which is marked by imaginative insight, subtle delineation of character, epigrammatic force of style, and gleams of genuine humour.'—Standard.
THE NETHER WORLD.
'Terrible in its earnestness, in its "untouched" photography of the desperate struggles and bitter misery of the London poor; never was word-painting more thoroughly and obviously true.'—World.
'Mr. Gissing is one of the few persons who can handle pitch without being defiled by it. While he runs Zola close as a realist, his thoughts and language are as pure as those of Miss Yonge herself.'—Standard.
'A powerful and most interesting novel.'—Manchester Guardian.
Crown 8vo. 6s.
THYRZA.
'A very good story indeed.... In power and pathetic treatment the novel is above the average.'—Athenæum.
'Thyrza is a really exquisite figure; as pathetic a creation as can well be imagined.... In short, "Thyrza" is a book of unusual literary merit.'—Morning Post.
