Literary Representations of Precarious Work,1840 to the Present delves into the intricate tapestry of literary representations of precarious labor, spanning from 1840 to the present. This comprehensive volume, brought to life by the expertise of scholars from diverse cultural backgrounds, including American, British, French, German, and Swedish, explores the profound impact of literature on our understanding of socio-economic precarity, a concept that encapsulates the living and working conditions prevalent in our contemporary neoliberal and platform economy. Through its pages, this volume unveils the creative endeavors of authors who sought to forge new poetic tools and literary techniques to convey the profound experiences of social regression and insecurity to their readers. While some authors engage in a critical dialogue with normative models of work, delving into the physical and emotional toll of precarious labor, others draw inspiration from their own experiences as writers navigating the challenges of survival. Moreover, this volume underscores that precarity is not a modern phenomenon confined to our times but rather a thread woven throughout the fabric of literary history. By reclaiming fragments from that archival tapestry, this volume offers a historically nuanced perspective on contemporary regimes of precarious work, shedding light on the complex interplay between past and present.
