This book explores the intimate relationship between literature and
class in England (and later Britain) from the Peasants' Revolt at
the end of the fourteenth century to the impact of the French
Revolution at the end of the eighteenth century and beginning of
the nineteenth. The book argues throughout that class cannot be
seen as a modern phenomenon that occurred after the Industrial
revolution but that class divisions and relations have always
structured societies and that it makes sense to assume a historical
continuity. The book explores a number of themes relating to class:
class consciousness; class conflict; commercialisation; servitude;
rebellion; gender relations; and colonisation. After outlining the
history of class relations, five chapters explore the ways in which
social class consciously and unconsciously influenced a series of
writers: Chaucer, Shakespeare, Behn, Rochester, Defoe, Duck,
Richardson, Burney, Blake and Wordsworth. -- .
