The Routledge Companion to Working-Class Literature

This companion provides an overview of the history, theory, and analysis of working-class literature. Taking a global and intersectional approach, it demonstrates that literature is central to the (re)interpretation of the working class, a process that involves rereading the past as well as mapping the present.
