Grub Street is the name of a former street in London synonymous with pulp writers and low-quality publishers. New Grub Street takes its name from that old street, as it follows the lives and endeavors of a group of writers active in the literary scene of 1880s London.
Edwin Reardon is a quiet and intelligent writer whose artistic sensibilities are the opposite of what the London public wants to read. He's forced to write long, joyless novels that he thinks pop publishers will want to buy. These novels are draining to write, yet result in meager sales; soon Edwin's increasingly small bank account, and his stubborn pride, start to put a strain on his once-happy marriage.
His best friend, Biffen, lies to one side of Edwin's nature: as another highly educated writer, he accepts a dingy, lonely, and hungry life of abject poverty in exchange for being able to produce a novel that's true to his artistic desires but is unlikely to sell. On the other side lies Jasper Milvain, an "alarmingly modern" writer laser-focused on earning as much money as possible no matter what he's made to write, as he floats through the same literary circles that Edwin haunts.
Readers who enjoy sharp, unsentimental portraits of ambition, art, and the literary marketplace will find New Grub Street a remarkably prescient and absorbing read.
