A History of British Working-Class Literature examines the rich
contributions of working-class writers in Great Britain from 1700
to the present. Since the early eighteenth century the phenomenon
of working-class writing has been recognised, but almost invariably
co-opted in some ultimately distorting manner, whether as examples
of 'natural genius'; a Victorian self-improvement ethic; or as an
aspect of the heroic workers of nineteenth- and twentieth-century
radical culture. The present work contrastingly applies a wide
variety of interpretive approaches to this literature. Essays on
more familiar topics, such as the 'agrarian idyll' of John Clare,
are mixed with entirely new areas in the field like working-class
women's 'life-narratives'. This authoritative and comprehensive
History explores a wide range of genres such as travel writing, the
verse-epistle, the elegy and novels, while covering aspects of
Welsh, Scottish, Ulster/Irish culture and transatlantic
perspectives.
