Following Isaac D?Israeli?s gloss on Jean de La Bruyère, it asks, in particular, whether writing should be ?called working?. Whereas previous studies have focused on national literatures in isolation, this volume demonstrates the two-way traffic between British and French conceptions of literary labour. It questions assumed areas of affinity and difference, beginning with the labour politics of the early nineteenth century and their common root in the French Revolution. It also scrutinises the received view of France as a source of a ?leisure ethic?, and of British writers as either rejecting or self-consciously mimicking French models. Individual essays consider examples of how different writers approached their work, while also evoking a broader notion of ?work ethics?, understood as a humane practice, whereby values, benefits, and responsibilities, are weighed up. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture,$x2634-6494 606 $aLiterature, Modern?19th century 606 $aBritish literature 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aFiction 606 $aLiterature?History and criticism 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/821000 606 $aBritish and Irish Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000 606 $aEuropean Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/832000 606 $aFiction$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/825000 606 $aLiterary History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/813000 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?19th century. 615 0$aBritish literature. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aLiterature?History and criticism. 615 14$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aBritish and Irish Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aFiction. 615 24$aLiterary History. 676 $a810.9355 702 $aWaithe$b Marcus$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWhite$b Claire$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300000703321 996 $aThe Labour of Literature in Britain and France, 1830-1910$91945285 997 $aUNINA
