Synopsis
This volume explores how our ideas about social class originated and have developed, focusing on the purpose of using "class" terminology. Furbank discusses what Marx meant by "bourgeois," the validity of historians and sociologists' uses of the term "class," and the motives of those who take "unholy pleasure" in finding class amusing, as well covering more concrete topics such as the master-servant relationship and the popularity of etiquette books. He calls "class" a rhetorical term used as a form of social action, and concludes that it has had its day, with novelists like Dickens, Kafka, and Proust demonstrating how to see through and beyond it.

- c***c (162)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseIncredible seller! I’m a repeat customer because the quality is always as described, if not better than expected. Magazines were in such good shape it was like going back to a newsstand in the early 2000s and purchasing them, albeit somewhat pricier, which is to be expected for magazines in such excellent condition twenty five years later. Shipping is always timely, and packaging is incredibly thorough.1999 December JANE Magazine. PAMELA ANDERSON Naked In So Many Ways. LkNew Inside (#195989388489)
