 George Gissing: State of Critical Studies
In the same year (1968) appeared a new edition of The Odd Women, edited by Swinnerton (London: Anthony Blond; New York: Stein and Day), and three essays by Gissing were reprinted together under the title Notes on Social Democracy, edited by Jacob Korg (London: Enitharmon Press).
Also in 1966 the third edition of Frank Swinnerton's George Gissing was issued by the Kennikat Press (Port Washington, N.Y.) with a new Introduction by the author.
The book is unsympathetic to Gissing; its interest today, since its only noteworthiness is the damage it did to Gissing's reputation in 1912, is historical.
