en-wikipedia-org-2230		New Grub Street - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	1805	190	70	New Grub Street is a novel by George Gissing published in 1891, which is set in the literary and journalistic circles of 1880s London. Its two central characters are a sharply contrasted pair of writers: Edwin Reardon, a novelist of some talent but limited commercial prospects, and a shy, cerebral man; and Jasper Milvain, a young journalist, hard-working and capable of generosity, but cynical and only semi-scrupulous about writing and its purpose in the modern (i.e. late Victorian) world. New Grub Street opens with Milvain, an "alarmingly modern young man" driven by pure financial ambition in navigating his literary career. After a broken engagement with Marian Yule, Milvain marries her cousin (and Edwin Reardon's widow), Amy, who received a legacy of £10,000 on her uncle's death. 2009, New Grub Street: The 1901 Revised Text, edited by Paul Delany.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2230.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2230.txt
