Description
Working-Class Literature(s) by John Lennon and Magnus Nilsson explores the complex phenomenon of working-class literature from an international perspective. This collection maps a substantial terrain, tracing the history and research of working-class literature in six countries: Russia/The Soviet Union, The USA, Finland, Sweden, The UK, and Mexico. Through a range of definitions and literatures, this book gives a broad and rich picture of the many-facetted phenomenon of working-class literature(s). It disrupts narrow understandings of the concept and phenomenon, while identifying and discussing key theoretical and historical questions. As an edited collection, each chapter provides an overview of its respective nation's working-class literature, while together they contribute to a more complex understanding of the global phenomenon. Read this book as individual chapters or as part of the larger collection to gain insight into the history and research of working-class literature in different countries.
