{"product_id":"the-working-class-intellectual-in-eighteenth-aruna-krishnamurthy-9781138261938","title":"The Working-Class Intellectual in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Britain","description":"In 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aruna Krishnamurthy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138261939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138261938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Aruna Krishnamurthy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47423881707775,"sku":"9781138261938","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_29ef4ada-376d-4b75-81a2-a321d530da74.jpg?v=1761528973","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-working-class-intellectual-in-eighteenth-aruna-krishnamurthy-9781138261938","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
