An innovative and intelligent contribution to the rapidly developing field of working-class literary studies and its project of recovering different voices, perspectives, and ways of understanding, of rethinking what literature is and what it does. * English Studies * Simon Lee sets out an important and compelling case for how the kitchen sink realism of the 1950s and 1960s moved beyond 1930s proletarian representations to establish new forms of classed identity, which remain the benchmark for working-class writing today. * Nick Hubble, Professor of Modern and Contemporary English, Brunel University, UK *
