Making a Social Body British Cultural Formation 1830-1864
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Univ of Chicago Pr
- Publish date: 11/01/1995
Description:
Poovey examines one of the conditions that made the development of a mass culture in Victorian Britain possible: the representation of the population as an aggregate -- a social body. Drawing on both literature and social reform texts from Victorian Britain, Poovey presents a compelling argument that gender, race, and class should be considered in the context of broader concerns such as how social authority is distributed, how institutions formalize knowledge, and how truth is defined.
