Poverty in Contemporary Literature: Themes and Figurations on the British Book Market

by Georg Zipp, Barbara Korte, G. Zipp

Book Overview

Poverty and inequality have gained a new public presence in the United Kingdom. Literature, and particularly narrative literature, (re-)configures how people think, feel and behave in relation to poverty. This makes the analysis of poverty-themed fiction an important aspect in the new transdisciplinary field of poverty studies.
