Working-Class Identity in Glaswegian Literature (Paperback)

The book provides an overview of major works in 20th century Glasgow literature presenting fundamental changes in the way of working-class people saw and see themselves. The works analysed, written exclusively by writers from within the working classes, employ various narrative techniques to convey the changing perception of working-people themselves in a century that saw many fundamental social changes. Formalist methods of analysing these narrative methods combined with a detailed presentation of the cultural background make sure that the reader is kept informed and engaged throughout. The focus is on works by such influential writers as James Kelman and Alasdair Gray, but short stories by less known authors make this book also a starting point for further research.
