The Working-Class Intellectual in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Britain

Book Overview

This collection of essays contributes to scholarship on the emergence of the working classes, by filtering the formation of working-class identity through the rise of the "working-class intellectual," a unique cultural figure at the crossroads of two disparate worlds. The essays cover a range of familiar and unfamiliar figures from the 1730s to the 1850s, shedding light on key moments of working-class self-expression.
