The Gissing Journal is a quarterly single-author journal devoted to the life and works of George Gissing, which publishes essays, book reviews, and news items on Gissing and his circle. It was first published in January 1965 and edited until December 1968 by Jacob Korg of the University of Washington. From January 1969 to April 2013 the editor was Pierre Coustillas, emeritus professor of English at the University of Lille. In July 2013 Malcolm Allen of the University of Wisconsin took over the editorship. However he was only able to produce six issues and the journal ceased publication in December 2014. Owing to the intervention of Markus Neacey, a regular contributor and independent Gissing enthusiast, The Gissing Journal restarted publication in January 2017, with Neacey as editor. In the previous year to this, he had written The Gissing Journal: A History and Index of the First Fifty Years (Grayswood, Surrey: Grayswood Press, 2016).

The Gissing Journal is indexed by the Modern Language Association, reviewed annually by The Year’s Work in English Studies, and regularly praised on the back page of the Times Literary Supplement. The journal has a strong subscriber base of academics and enthusiasts, and is also subscribed to by many university and national libraries across the world.
