Centering on the British kitchen sink realism movement of the late
1950s and early 1960s, specifically its documentation of the built
environment's influence on class consciousness, this book
highlights the settings of a variety of novels, plays, and films,
turning to archival research to offer new ways of thinking about
how spatial representation in cultural production sustains or
intervenes in the process of social stratification. As a movement
that used gritty, documentary-style depictions of space to
highlight the complexities of working-class life, the period's
texts chronicled shifts in the social and topographic landscape
while advancing new articulations of citizenship in response to the
failures of post-war reconstruction. By exploring the impact of
space on class, this book addresses the contention that critical
discourse has overlooked the way the built environment informs
class identity.
