Class and the Uses of Poetry

More about the book

The book explores how social inequalities, particularly class distinctions, influence cultural reception and creative opportunities. It examines the disconnect between poetry and popular culture, as highlighted by George Orwell, and investigates the societal norms that perpetuate this divide. Utilizing qualitative research from Glasgow, the author provides new empirical evidence to shed light on these dynamics, offering insights into the impact of class on cultural engagement and artistic expression.
