Locating Classed Subjectivities explores representations of social
class in British fiction through the lens of spatial theory and
analysis. By analyzing a range of class-conscious texts from the
nineteenth-, twentieth-, and twenty-first centuries, the collection
provides an overview of the way British writers mobilized spatial
aesthetics as a means to comment on the intricacies of social
class. In doing so, the collection delineates aesthetic strategies
of representation in British writing, tracing the development of
literary forms while considering how authors mobilized innovative
spatial metaphors to better express contingent social and economic
realities. Ranging in coverage from early-nineteenth-century
narratives of disease to contemporary writing on the working-class
millennial, Locating Classed Subjectivities offers new perspectives
on literary techniques and political intentions, exploring the way
class is parsed and critiqued through British writing across three
centuries. As such, the project responds to Nigel Thrift and Peter
Williams's claim that literary and cultural production serves as a
particularly rich yet unexamined access point by which to
comprehend the way space and social class intersect.
