Book Description
A novel of social realism, The Odd Women reflects the major sexual and cultural issues of the late nineteenth century. Unlike the "New Woman" novels of the era which challenged the idea that the unmarried woman was superfluous, Gissing satirizes that image and portrays women as "odd" and marginal in relation to an ideal. Set in a grimy, fog-ridden London, Gissing's "odd" women range from the idealistic, financially self-sufficient Mary Barfoot to the Madden sisters who struggle to subsist in low paying jobs and little chance for joy. With narrative detachment, Gissing portrays contemporary society's blatant ambivalence towards its own period of transition. Judged by contemporary critics to be as provocative as Zola and Ibsen, Gissing produced an "intensely modern" work as the issues it raises remain the subject of contemporary debate.

Book Description
Excerpt from Wyllard's Weird, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel The train was not a long one, a good many of the London coaches having been left behind at Ply mouth. Dr. Menheniot put out his head, and surveyed the line Of carriages. As they rounded the curve. There was a figure here and there by a window; but the train seemed sparsely occupied. They were nearing the Viaduct. That narrow thread Of water trickling over its rocky bed in the depth Of the gorge was in winter a rushing torrent.
