Description

The Full Monty, Billy Elliot, and Brassed Off are among recent iconic working-class British films that have found huge worldwide success. Challenging suggestions that class is no longer relevant for literary or cultural analysis, this volume examines the lives and experiences of the working-class people portrayed in these films and in works of contemporary writing from authors like Jeanette Winterson and Pat Parker in order to assess how working-class lives have changed over the past century—and how these changes have been depicted and explored in a range of fictional and non-fictional texts and films.

Author Biography:

Dr. John Kirk lectures in Cultural Studies at the University of Huddersfield. He has published widely on representations of the working class in twentieth-century literature.
