Synopsis
The Nether World is a key title in the development of Gissing's complicated world view, his last and best book on the working classes and the most striking, authentic and accurately documented Victorian novel of its kind. Dr. Goode, a leading critic of the late Victorian novel, describes it as "both Gissing's first major success and the pivotal novel in his work".

From the Back Cover
This is a tale of intrigue, as rapacious schemers try to wrest a fortune out of a mysterious old man who has returned to their midst, and of thwarted love. There is no sentimentality. This is a world in which the strong exercise power against their own kind, scheming and struggling for survival, a world from which, Gissing bleakly maintains, there can be no escape.
