Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.

The Town Traveller [London1898] George Gissing Books

This is a late and relatively short Gissing novel, available only in obscure editions. The man was in an unusually light mood for his standards. One might not recognize it as a Gissing novel at all were the name not on the cover.

What is not there: the ponderous main character who leads us through his life's troubles or few triumphs. There is no pondering here. Central character is a highly unusual man for Gissing: an optimist. Gammon is by nature a pleasure seeker and he is disposed to be easily pleased. He lives in a boarding house and works mostly as a sales rep in thriving London near the end of the 19th century. He seeks a 'permanency' and a pretty young wife and wouldn't mind being rich. He is quite a busybody, always getting involved in other people's affairs.

Quote: 'He set off about his business with all the zest of a healthy boy. If he had any wisdom at all, it consisted in the lack of self-consciousness, the animal acceptance of whatever good the hour might bring.'

Gammon has an interest in genealogy and in family secrets. A friend of his theorizes that every family must have an unknown rich relative somewhere. That is the starting premise for some entertaining confusion in the Victorian style.

This novel has not made Gissing immortal. Rightly so. It is quite flat. Some action, of a rather frivolous kind, but no real subject, no conflict, no dilemma.
Also, I dislike the condescending tone that Gissing uses here more than in his other works. He looks down on his creatures.
