- More about Landscape and Labour: Work, Place, and the Working Class in Eliot, Hardy, and Lawrence
George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and D.H. Lawrence's novels offer a miniature history of the English working class, transforming it from a patronizing pastiche to a vital reality. This achievement was crucial to the rise of the English working class as a key agency of democratic reform. However, in our own times, depictions of working-class culture are often patronizing or denigrating, leading to the phenomenon of populism. Returning to their works can help regain a sense of direction for contemporary politics by rediscovering the vital force of working-class culture.

George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and D.H. Lawrence's novels offer a miniature history of the English working class, transforming it from a patronizing pastiche to a vital reality. This achievement was crucial to the rise of the English working class as the key agency of democratic reform from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. However, in our own times, depictions of working-class culture are often patronizing or denigrating. This crisis of representation has led to the phenomenon of populism, a long-term consequence of the undermining of genuinely popular rule under neoliberal capitalism. By returning to the works of Eliot, Hardy, and Lawrence, we can regain a sense of direction for contemporary politics by rediscovering the vital force of working-class culture.
