O knihe

Drawing extensively on the theoretical insights of Raymond Williams and the British cultural studies tradition to challenge suggestions that class is no longer relevant for literary analysis, this book examines how the lives and experiences of working-class people have changed over the past century and how these changes have been depicted and explored in a range of fictional and nonfictional texts. Kirk discusses representations of the British working class in a range of writing, from Alan Bleasdale and James Kelman to Pat Barker and Jeanette Winterson. He also offers a comparative study of two other key periods when the question of class loomed large: the 1930s and the postwar age of affluence.
