The book argues throughout that class cannot be seen as a modern phenomenon that occurred after the Industrial revolution but that class divisions and relations have always structured societies and that it makes sense to assume a historical continuity. The book explores a number of themes relating to class: class consciousness; class conflict; commercialisation; servitude; rebellion; gender relations; and colonisation. After outlining the history of class relations, five chapters explore the ways in which social class consciously and unconsciously influenced a series of writers: Chaucer, Shakespeare, Behn, Rochester, Defoe, Duck, Richardson, Burney, Blake and Wordsworth."-- SN - 978-1-5261-2583-5 kovakantinen KW - 1500-luku KW - 1600-luku KW - 1700-luku KW - 1500-talet KW - 1600-talet KW - 1700-talet KW - 1500-1700 KW - yhteiskuntaluokat KW - englanninkielinen kirjallisuus KW - historia KW - Sociala klasser i litteraturen KW - Engelsk litteratur : historia KW - Social classes in literature.
