À propos de ce contenu audio

 Set against the backdrop of the late Victorian literary scene, New Grub Street explores the struggles and ambitions of writers grappling with the harsh realities of their craft. The title alludes to the historic Grub Street in London, once a hub for hack writers, which had faded by Gissings time. The novel centers around two distinctly different authors Edwin Reardon, a talented novelist with limited commercial success and a deeply introspective nature, and Jasper Milvain, a driven journalist who, despite his generosity, navigates the literary world with a cynical and pragmatic approach. Their contrasting perspectives illuminate the complexities of writing and its purpose in a rapidly changing society.Copyright 19th and 20th Century Fiction Art Sciences sociales
