Om denne lydboken
Set in the literary and journalistic buzz of late 19th-century London, New Grub Street depicts a world that George Gissing knew inside out. Elements of his own experience are diffused in different characters – in particular the struggling, talented Edwin Reardon and the young, ‘modern’ Jasper Milvain – through which he explores the sense of crisis for writers at the time: the gulf between aesthetic integrity and commercial success. It was the first major novel to place the concept of authorship at the heart of the plot, and allowed late-Victorian readers a tantalizing glimpse behind the scenes of literary production. Written in a white heat of determination, New Grub Street marked a shift in Gissing’s fortunes – a triumphantly readable, engaging work of fiction that opened doors to the recognition he deserved.
Om forfatteren
Andrew Wincott trained as an actor at the Webber Douglas Academy, and has performed in many leading UK repertory theatres. He has played Rochester in Jane Eyre, Alec in Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Count Vronsky in Anna Karenina, and the Actor in The Woman in Black. For over 25 years he has recorded radio drama and book readings for the BBC, where he has twice been a member of the Radio Drama Company. He has also created voices for countless video games and recorded hundreds of audiobooks, but he is perhaps best known as the voice of Adam Macy in The Archers and of Simon in the Sony Award-winning Clare in the Community for the BBC.
