Working-Class Writing: Theory and Practice

Editat de Ben Clarke, Nick Hubble
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 dec 2019
This book updates our understanding of working-class fiction by focusing on its continued relevance to the social and intellectual contexts of the age of Trump and Brexit. The volume draws together new and established scholars in the field, whose intersectional analyses use postcolonial and feminist ideas, amongst others, to explore key theoretical approaches to working-class writing and discuss works by a range of authors, including Ethel Carnie Holdsworth, Jack Hilton, Mulk Raj Anand, Simon Blumenfeld, Pat Barker, Gordon Burn, and Zadie Smith. A key informing argument is not only that working-class writing shows ‘working class’ to be a diverse and dynamic rather than monolithic category, but also that a greater critical attention to class, and the working class in particular, extends both the methods and objects of literary studies. This collection will appeal to students, scholars and academics interested in working-class writing and the need to diversify the curriculum.

Caracteristici

There has been a significant rise in interest in working-class fiction over the last decade but most of the key critical works on the topic date from the late 1980s to mid-1990s - this collection rethinks issues relating to working class fiction and the critical work relating to it

Examines a broad range of writers, from Woolf to Orwell

Argues for a heterogeneous model of the working class that functions as a strategic rather than a descriptive term and is always mobilised within particular historical contexts
