The author suggests that whereas bourgeois subjectivity ordinarily resembles the central and progressively developing self of such novels as David Copperfield, working class subjectivity consists of attention to working environment and community that diminishes the concern with self. These differences account for the relative valuations placed on middle class and working class autobiographies by the literary establishment.
A wide-ranging work of unusual conceptual power and original insight, this book convincingly redefines the literary field of 19th- and early 20th- century autobiography to include works, especially those by working-class people, that do not focus in conventional ways on the self.
