THE ROUTLEDGE COMPANION TO LITERATURE AND CLASS

<p><em>The Routledge Companion to Literature and Class</em> offers a comprehensive and fresh assessment of the cultural impact of class in literature, analyzing various innovative, interdisciplinary approaches of textual analysis and intersections of literature, including class subjectivities, mental health, gender and queer studies, critical race theory, quantitative and scientific methods, and transnational perspectives in literary analysis. </p><p>Utilizing these new methods and interdisciplinary maps from field-defining essayists, students will become aware of ways to bring these elusive texts into their own writing as one of the parallel perspectives through which to view literature. This volume will provide students with an insight into the history of the intersections of class, theory of class and invisibility in literature, and new trends in exploring class in literature. These multidimensional approaches to literature will be a crucial resource for undergraduate and graduate students becoming familiar with class analysis, and will offer seasoned scholars the most significant critical approaches in class studies.</p> <p>Introduction to <em>The Routledge Literature and Class Companion</em></p><p>Part I: History of the Intersections of Class</p><p>Intersections of Class, Race, and Gender in Australian Indigenous Literature </p><p>Sarah Attfield</p><p>Class Shifts in Yuan Dynasty China </p><p>Kacey Evilsizor</p><p>Victorian Socialist Obituaries and the Politics of Cross-Class Community </p><p>Ingrid Hanson</p><p>Social Class and Devastated Land in Yang Dantao's Science Fiction</p><p>Hua Li</p><p>New York Literature and Social Space: The Tenement and the Street</p><p>Adam R.
