Abstract
Grant Allen’s Philistia (1884) is a naturalist novel that provides a critical commentary on sociopolitical idealism and London’s literary scene. The novel’s original ending was revised and replaced during the publication process in favor of a happier ending. The original ending is published here in print for the first time, with a contextual introduction and textual note. The manuscript has previously been accessible to scholars only in the Paterno Library in University Park, Pennsylvania.
