  • Working-Class Representation As a Literary and Political Practice from the General Strike to the Winter of Discontent
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of East Anglia digital repository Representing revolt: working-class representation as a literary and political practice from the General Strike to the Winter of Discontent Matti Ron PhD English Literature University of East Anglia School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing August 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived therefrom must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Though the dual sense of representation—as an issue of both aesthetic or organisational forms—has long been noted within Marxist literary criticism and political theory, these differing uses of the term have generally been considered to be little more than semantically related. This thesis, then, seeks to address this gap in the discourse by looking at working- class representation as both a literary and political practice to show that their relationship is not just one of being merely similar or analogous, but rather that they are structurally homologous. To demonstrate this point, this thesis will perform close readings of clusters of texts to chart the development of working-class fiction between two high-points of class struggle in Britain—the 1926 General Strike and the 1978-79 Winter of Discontent—with the intention

  • Lennon, John and Magnus Nilsson, Eds. (2017) Working-Class Literature(S): Historical and International Perspectives, Stockholm University Press, Stockholm
    Journal of Working-Class Studies Volume 3 Issue 2, December 2018 Gauthereau Lennon, John and Magnus Nilsson, eds. (2017) Working-Class Literature(s): Historical and International Perspectives, Stockholm University Press, Stockholm Review by Lorena Gauthereau Working-Class Literature(s) brings together six essays that engage different national working- class literatures: Russia and the Soviet Union, the United States, Finland, Sweden, Mexico, and Great Britain. While this collection does not provide an exhaustive perspective of global working- class literatures (nor does it intend to), it does provide an overarching examination of a variety of national literatures labeled as ‘working-class.’ In doing so, it highlights not only the often- conflictive definitions of the genre, but also the historical context, evolution, national specificity, and international influences of and on working-class literature(s). In the introduction, editors Lennon and Nilsson argue for the timeliness of this collection. Their research yielded few studies of working-class literature from a comparative national perspective. This collection, then, certainly provides a broad representation of working-class literature across national borders. Citing John Russo and Sherry Lee Linkon (2005), the editors suggest that current trends in literary criticism, ‘such as sexuality, disability, and species has pushed class even further down on the agenda’ (13 qtd. x). Likewise, they argue that contemporary studies of working-class literature have not shown a ‘significant development of analytical tools’ and instead, rely on outdated theory that has not evolved over the past decades in the same way as other theoretical frameworks (xi). While I would grant that perhaps sexuality and gender have been at the forefront of current trends in literary criticism, class is often part of the critical conversation for women of color feminists (at the very least in the United States and Latin America) albeit tied to other markers of identity, such as race/ethnicity, sexuality, and gender.

  • Class, Gender and Aesthetics in Agnes Smedley's Daughter of Earth
    Reexamining the Proletarian Fictional Autobiography: Class, Gender and Aesthetics in Agnes Smedley’s Daughter of Earth John Lennon, University of South Florida and Magnus Nilsson, Malmö University1 Abstract It is accepted truth that proletarian literature is marked by a tension, or even contradiction, emanating from the social conflict between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. This article explores these contradictions within the proletarian autobiographical novel form, focusing on Agnes Smedley’s Daughter of Earth. Smedley challenges predominately masculine discourse in working-class literature, boldly placing female desire at the center of her political project. Smedley intimately ties her understanding of class with her gender identity, something that was at loggerheads with contemporary leftist male critics who championed her working-class sensibility but resisted the gendered implications of her work. Our article pushes against a solely nationalistic viewpoint that many critics have embraced. To better understand the genre, we place Smedley’s novel in conversation with Swedish working-class writer Moa Martinson’s 1936 autobiographical novel Mor gifter sig [My Mother Gets Married]. By doing so, we analyze the nationalistic context of Smedley’s book, underlining how being ‘poised between bourgeois and revolutionary discursive traditions’ is something historical and place-based, and arguing that this is key to understanding the category of proletarian fictional autobiography. Keywords: proletarian autobiographical novel; working-class

  • Appendix I: a Letter on John Reed's 'The Colorado War'
    Appendix I: A Letter on John Reed's 'The Colorado War' Boulder, Colorado. December 5 1915 My dear Mr Sinclair:- I have your letter of Ist inst. I do not think the reporter always got me quite right, or as fully as he might have got me. I did, however, think at the time I testified that Reed's paper in The Metropolitan contained some exaggerations. I did not intend to say that he intentionally told any untruths, and doubtless he had investigated carefully and could produce witnesses to substantiate what he said. Some things are matters of opinion. Some others are almost incapable ofproof. The greater part of Reed's paper is true. But for example, p. 14 1st column July (1914) Metropolitan: 'And orders were that the Ludlow colony must be wiped out. It stood in the way ofMr. Rockefeller's profits.' I believe that a few brutes like Linderfelt probably did intend to wipe this colony out, but that orders were given to this effect by any responsible person­ either civil or military - is incapable of proof. So the statement that 'only seventeen of them [strikers] had guns', I believe from what Mrs Hollearn [post-mistress] tells me is not quite correct. On p. 16 Reed says the strikers 'eagerly turned over their guns to be delivered to the militia' - Now it is pretty clear from what happened later that many guns were retained: on Dec. 31 st I was at Ludlow when some 50 or so rifles - some new, some old - were found under the tents and there were more - not found.

  • Polemics of the Russian and Soviet Literary Left Katerina Clark
    Working-Class Literature and/or Proletarian Literature : Polemics of the Russian and Soviet Literary Left Katerina Clark What did working-class literature mean in the Russian, and espe- cially the Soviet, context? Actually, in the pre-revolutionary years when working-class literature first began to be published on any scale, but most particularly during the Soviet period, literature produced by, or about, the working classes was standardly re- ferred to not as “working class” but rather as “proletarian liter- ature” [proletarskaia literature]. This is an important distinction because in Bolshevik parlance the term “proletarian” had two main meanings: either of or by the working classes, or of or by the vanguard of the proletariat, i.e. of the Russian-cum-Soviet Communist Party. The latter definition dominated throughout the Soviet period, although in the first decades there was a significant lobby of writers who were fierce proponents of a “working-class literature” in the sense of a literature of and about the working classes—and so not necessarily by or about members of the Party. In Marxist-Leninist writings any “proletarian” was ideally, or at least in his or her sympathies, not only a Party member but also working class. Hence, as if to smooth over the disparity between “proletarian” (as of the Party) and “proletarian” (as of the work- ers), most of the heroes of the classic novels of Soviet literature were workers (or poor peasants) or at least of working class or- igins. Their roles as workers and as Party members intertwined, although greater stress was laid on their roles in the Party than as workers.

  • The Proletarian Arts Movement Was an International Politico-Arts Movement That Flourished in the 1920S and 1930S
    Guest Editor’s Introduction: Proletarian Arts in East Asia Proletarian Literature in the World The proletarian arts movement was an international politico-arts movement that flourished in the 1920s and 1930s. Like other modernist movements, the proletarian arts movement sought to redefine the form and function of literature and art; and like other modernist movements, it held that capital- ism was fundamentally changing the ways that people related to each other and to the world in which they lived. But, in contrast, the proletarian arts movement — no matter how much writers disagreed over the details — held that class-based struggle was necessary because capital was controlled by the few at the expense of the many. The essays in this volume remind us of the anguish and optimism that made proletarianism seem not only possible but crucial. As the important Korean literary critic Yoon-shik Kim writes in his essay in this volume, “Literature was no longer to be a sentimental pastime, positions 14:2 doi 10.1215/10679847-2006-002 Copyright 2006 by Duke University Press Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/positions/article-pdf/14/2/251/509695/pos142_03_struyk.pdf by guest on 25 September 2021 positions 14:2 Fall 2006 252 but an active participant in the development of society and the unfolding of history.” Despite the awkwardness of the term to some ears today, self-titled “pro- letarian” organizations existed throughout the world during the first part of the twentieth century.1 Michael Denning writes: “The turning point was the world

  • Wolker and Nezval
    Wolker and Nezval ALFRED FRENCH The year 1918, which marked the end of a political epoch in the Czech lands, was felt by the Czech writers themselves to be both an end and a beginning. If they expressed one common motif at the time, it was the conviction that this was, above all, the moment of tremendous change. To those who had personally been exposed to the hazards of war, or who had actively campaigned for the new state, the new era of peace and independence seemed like the promised and long-awaited exodus from the wilderness. A generation schooled to revere its past as the source of its strength linked the future with a tradition stretching back to the Hussites, for the new start was expected not only to denote the end of foreign domination, but also to introduce a new order of social justice, conceived in the image of medieval Tabor. At this historic turning-point, it was the continuity of past and future that was symbolised in the great fanfares which ceremoniously inaugurated the new state. The sense of crisis was present in the work of all the youngest writers, but the fanfares were singularly absent. To the elder generation, perhaps, the postwar settlement marked a revolution satisfactorily accomplished; to the younger generation, the revolution had hardly begun. Certainly, if the old guard expected to receive from their juniors respectful admira- tion or gratitude for a great work done, they were sadly disappointed. Disclaiming all responsibility for a past which they regarded as strange and repugnant, the younger writers drew a sharp line between the generations and swept into limbo some of the most cherished traditions of their elders.
