{"product_id":"working-class-intellectual-in-eighteenth-and-nineteenth-century-britain","title":"Working-Class Intellectual in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Britain","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Britain, the period that stretches from the middle of the eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century marks the emergence of the working classes, alongside and in response to the development of the middle-class public sphere. This collection contributes to that scholarship by exploring the figure of the \"working-class intellectual,\" who both assimilates the anti-authoritarian lexicon of the middle classes to create a new political and cultural identity, and revolutionizes it with the subversive energy of class hostility. Through considering a broad range of writings across key moments of working-class self-expression, the essays reevaluate a host of familiar writers such as Robert Burns, John Thelwall, Charles Dickens, Charles Kingsley, Ann Yearsley, and even Shakespeare, in terms of their role within a working-class constituency. The collection also breaks fresh ground in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century scholarship by shedding light on a number of unfamiliar and underrepresented figures, such as Alexander Somerville, Michael Faraday, and the singer Ned Corvan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542288130286,"sku":"9781138261938","price":84.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138261938.jpg?v=1720123124","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/working-class-intellectual-in-eighteenth-and-nineteenth-century-britain","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
