The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft
About this book
George Gissing's semi-autobiographical work presents the fictional journal of Henry Ryecroft, a retired writer reflecting on literature, nature, and a life of hardship after inheriting a modest legacy. Readers interested in late-Victorian English prose, the literary life, and contemplative essays on solitude and books will find it rewarding.
