Rehabilitating working-class cultural and literary history: the critical agenda -- 2. The ragged trousered philanthropists and after: epistemologies of class, legacies of resistance -- 3. On the "Borderland of tears": reputation, exposure and the public/private dynamic of working -class culture -- 4. The "Revolt of the gentle": romance and the politics of resistance in working-class writing -- Afterward: Getting their own back. 330 $aMany recent discussions of working-class culture in literary and cultural studies have tended to present an oversimplified view of resistance. In this groundbreaking work, Pamela Fox offers a far more complex theory of working-class identity, particularly as reflected in British novels of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through the concept of class shame, she produces a model of working-class subjectivity that understands resistance in a more accurate and useful way-as a complicated kind of refusal, directed at both dominated and dominant culture.With a focus on cer 410 0$aPost-contemporary interventions. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWorking class writings, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and society$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorking class$zGreat Britain$xIntellectual life 606 $aWorking class in literature 606 $aShame in literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWorking class writings, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aWorking class$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aWorking class in literature. 615 0$aShame in literature. 676 $a823/.912093520623 700 $aFox$b Pamela$f1958-$01613062 801 0$bNcD 801 1$bNcD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815725903321 996 $aClass fictions$93942172 997 $aUNINA
