Description

Explore the complex world of Victorian identity with Masculinity and the English Working Class by Ying. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work offers a deep look into how working-class masculine subjectivity was represented through Victorian autobiography and fiction. Instead of focusing on the well-documented experiences of the upper classes, this book examines the unique ways working-class men understood their own identities. It looks closely at themes of domesticity and the male body to show how these experiences differed from the social norms of the elite. Readers will find a detailed map of the connection between two major historical trends: the rise of published working-class autobiographies where men built their own identities for a wide audience, and the simultaneous increase in public interest regarding the lower orders of society. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars of literary criticism and cultural theory.
