The British Working Class in the Twentieth Century by John Anthony Kirk

Challenges the suggestions that class is no longer relevant for literary analysis. This work examines how the lives and experiences of working-class people have changed, and how these changes have been depicted and explored in a range of fictional and non-fictional texts and films.
