Surprisingly, this book is the first study of its kind ever published; and the first since 1903 to explore the relationship between working class fiction and Victorian society. Dr Keating examines the presentation of the urban and industrial working classes in Victorian fiction. He considers the different types of working men and women who appear in fiction, the environments they are shown to inhabit, and the use of phonetics to indicate the sound of working class voices. Evidence is drawn from a wide range of major and minor fiction, and new light is cast on writers such as Dickens, Mrs Gaskell, Charles Kingsley, George Gissing, Rudyard Kipling and Arthur Morrison. .
