Publication[]
As an old friend of Gissing,[1] H.G. Wells was asked to write an introduction to Veranilda. Displeased with the piece Wells wrote,[2] Gissing's relatives and literary executors then asked Frederic Harrison to write a substitute.[3] Well's rejected preface was later published under the title "George Gissing: An Impression".[4]
