Set in the competitive literary circles of 1880s London, the narrative follows Edwin Reardon, a talented novelist, and Jasper Milvain, who navigates the moral ambiguities of success and financial gain. The story paints a vivid portrait of the struggles faced by writers in a world increasingly dominated by commercialism and hack literature, offering a critical look at the pursuit of fame and fortune in late Victorian England. Gissing's work stands out for its realistic depiction of the challenges and complexities of literary life during this era.
