Algernon Fred Gissing, born in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England, was an English novelist and the younger brother of novelist George Gissing. His initial education was at Back Lane School in Wakefield, but beginning in 1870 he attended Lindow Grove School in Cheshire as a boarder. He went on to study Law at London University, graduating with an LLB in 1882. He practised as a solicitor in Wakefield for a while, but failed to attract enough clients to sustain his practise. Having been unsuccessful in his legal career, Gissing decided to pursue an interest in writing literature. During his life, he wrote 25 novels, two collections of short stories, and several pieces of travel writing, but earned a negligible income from them. He received a number of grants from the Royal Literary Fund.
