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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781538158562\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brian, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Portland State University, USA Elliott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44130892251386,"sku":"9781538158562","price":35.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1679475123766_book.jpg?v=1679996751","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/landscape-and-labour-work-place-and-the-working-class-in-eliot-hardy-and-lawrence-9781538158562","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
