9781843847311: Literature and Institutions of Welfare

Synopsis

The welfare state in Britain established a new level of access to literature as a public good alongside other national resources that were grounded in a principle of democratic egalitarianism. This volume charts the impact of the welfare state on the teaching, reading and production of literature, and the legacy of this social democratic vision of literature. It is especially concerned with the representational possibilities, the social arrangements and political claims that welfare makes possible. Individual contributions consider how the history of literature relates to the history of welfare and how literature communicates the value and character of the welfare state. Like the literature they examine, essays move between a disenchantment with the institutions of welfare and a need to articulate welfare's vision of social repair.
