George Gissing
The prolific author of more than twenty novels, George Gissing (1857–1903) is today best remembered for novels such as Grub Street – which satirizes the literary and journalistic world of 1880s London – The Odd Women and The Nether World, which make him one of the finest satirists and social commentators of his time.
George Gissing attended the 20th April 1900 Dinner as a guest of Friar Edward Clodd.
