Resituating Grant Allen: Writing, Radicalism and Modernity
Year: 2017
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: What kind of man, one wonders, did Gissing expect? Quite possibly a more self-regarding, combative, self-important figure than the man who greeted him at Aldeburgh; the embattled author, certainly, of the phenomenally successful novel The Woman Who Did which had been published that February and which Allen told Gissing was currently earning him £25 per week.2 This succès de scandale and Allen’s high-profile involvement in the aftermath of its publication, offered the only possible conversational topic to rival inevitable ruminations over the sentence of Oscar Wilde the Saturday before.3
