Upward Mobility and the Common Good: Toward a Literary History of the Welfare State

Upward Mobility and the Common Good: Toward a Literary History of the Welfare State

by Bruce Robbins (Author)

Synopsis

We think we know what upward mobility stories are about - virtuous striving justly rewarded, or unprincipled social climbing regrettably unpunished. This book overturns these assumptions and exposes a hidden tradition of erotic social interdependence at the heart of the literary canon.
