With two successive world wars and the rise of communism and fascism, this was an exceptionally turbulent time in the history of industrial capitalism as Taylorism and Fordism sought to increase production and consumption. This social landscape shaped modernist industrial novels. Key themes in these novels were class conflict, bad working conditions, worker alienation, changing workmen and employee cultures, urbanization, and worker migration. The primary goal was to document and publicize the real developments of working conditions in factories and offices, often aiming to influence both company welfare work and state social policies. This book focuses on the modernist industrial novel as written in five large industrial nations: the United States before WWII, the Stalinist Soviet Union, Weimar Germany, post-WWII Italy, and France.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: NLItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmAuthor: Erik de GierGenre: Literary CriticismTopic: History, Technology & EngineeringType: Literary Theory & MovementsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
