Description

Literature and Poverty by Routledge provides an engaging overview of how literary perceptions of poverty and the poor have changed over time. This book traces the evolution of these perspectives from the Hebrew Bible through to the Second World War. Part I covers the period from the Hebrew Bible to the French Revolution. It examines the Scriptural ideal of the 'holy poor' and explains how biblical views were contested as capitalism grew and the state began to take over responsibilities from the Church. Part II explores the era from the French Revolution to World War II, analyzing the impact of industrialization, population growth, war, and urbanization on literary depictions of poverty.
