Cover of Simon J. James: Unsettled Accounts (PDF)

Simon J. James examines how Gissing’s work reveals an unhappy accommodation with money’s underwriting of human existence and culture, and how daily life in all its forms – moral, intellectual, familial and erotic – is transcended or made irrelevant by its commodification.
