This collection contributes to that scholarship by exploring the figure of the "working-class intellectual," who both assimilates the anti-authoritarian lexicon of the middle classes to create a new political and cultural identity, and revolutionizes it with the subversive energy of class hostility. Through considering a broad range of writings across key moments of working-class self-expression, the essays reevaluate a host of familiar writers such as Robert Burns, John Thelwall, Charles Dickens, Charles Kingsley, Ann Yearsley, and even Shakespeare, in terms of their role within a working-class constituency. The collection also breaks fresh ground in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century scholarship by shedding light on a number of unfamiliar and underrepresented figures, such as Alexander Somerville, Michael Faraday, and the singer Ned Corvan.Working classGreat BritainHistory18th centuryWorking classGreat BritainHistory19th centuryWorking classGreat BritainIntellectual lifeIntellectualsGreat BritainHistory18th centuryIntellectualsGreat BritainHistory19th centuryGreat BritainIntellectual lifeWorking classHistoryWorking classHistoryWorking classIntellectual life.IntellectualsHistoryIntellectualsHistory305.5/62094109033Krishnamurthy Aruna892636MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154687403321The working-class intellectual in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain1993879UNINA
