Description

This Routledge academic study examines how contemporary British novels have portrayed working-class life in the twenty-first century through the lens of deindustrialisation and social stigmatisation. The book analyses works by David Peace, Gordon Burn, Anthony Cartwright, Ross Raisin, Jenni Fagan, and Sunjeev Sahota to reveal how these authors map the shift from economic collapse to the demonisation of individuals and communities facing destabilisation and unemployment. O'Brien argues that these novels provide critical perspectives for understanding fundamental aspects of modern capitalism and its impact on the working class. An essential text for students and scholars of contemporary British literature, sociology, and cultural studies seeking insight into how fiction responds to economic and social transformation.
