In case it may be supposed that the African episode in this book was suggested by recent events in the Transvaal, I desire to state that it was written four years before the Jameson raid occurred.  

They were four of the greatest minds in the Universe: Two men two women lost in an experimental spaceship billions of parsecs from home.

Mary Barton is the first novel by English author Elizabeth Gaskell, published in 1848. The story is set in the English city of Manchester during the 1830s and 1840s and deals heavily with the difficulties faced by the Victorian lower class.

New Grub Street (1891), George Gissing's most highly regarded novel, is the story of men and women forced to make their living by writing. Their daily lives and broken dreams, made and marred by the rigors of urban life and the demands of the fledgling mass communications industry, are presented with vivid realism and unsentimental sympathy. Its telling juxtaposition of the writing careers of the clever and malicious Jaspar Milvain and the honest and struggling Edward Reardon quickly made New Grub Street into a classic work of late Victorian fiction.

    这是一部作者倾注心血的准自传体意识流小说。小说以到灯塔去为贯穿全书的中心线索，写了拉姆齐一家人和几位客人在第一次世界大战前后的片段生活经历。拉姆齐先生的幼子詹姆斯想去灯塔，但却由于天气不好而未能如愿。后大战爆发，拉姆齐一家历经沧桑。战后，拉姆齐先生携带一双儿女乘舟出海，终于到达灯塔。而坐在岸边画画的莉丽?布里斯科也正好在拉姆齐一家到达灯塔的时候，在瞬间的感悟中，向画幅中央落下一笔，终于画出了多年萦回心头的幻象，从而超越自己，成为一名真正的艺术家。全书并无起伏跌宕的情节，内容分三个部分，依次为：窗；时光流逝；灯塔。最主要的人物拉姆齐夫人后来死去，其实际活动仅限于小说的前半部分。关于她的一系列描述，是以作者本人的母亲为生活原型的，而拉姆齐先生则有作者父亲的影子。此外，作者着墨最多的是莉丽?布里斯科。表面上看，莉丽语言寥寥，其主要行为主要是为拉姆齐夫人作画，但该人物的思想活动相当活跃，作者以自己为原型塑造了这个人物，并“为小说结构安排了潜在的双重线索和复合层次。……莉丽这个人物既在这部小说世界之中，又在它之外；拉姆齐一家的经历是第一层次的故事，莉丽所体现的‘艺术―生命’主要是第二层次的故事，是包裹在小说外面的又一部小说。”
