Arguing that prior accounts of the novel's relation to the rise of finance have missed the emergence of a wider service sector, Gooch traces the effects of service work's many forms and class positions in the Victorian novel. The novel registers the Victorian era's changing economic circumstances and political economy's increasingly fraught understanding of unproductive labour through its own work of narration, characterization, and plotting, and, in the process, comes to reimagine what it means to be employed and to see oneself as an employee. Novels by George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Anthony Trollope, and Bram Stoker uncover the cultural, social, and affective experiences that inform these new experiences of work, from their revolutionary potential to their new forms of discipline."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 214-225) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- The social work of unproductive labor -- Silas Marner: narration as work-discipline -- Our mutual friend: service work as subject-work -- The moonstone: service work as narrative work -- The way we live now: service work and violence -- Conclusion, or, How I stopped worrying and learned to love my work-discipline. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Work in literature. 650 0 $a Working class in literature. 650 0 $a Service industries $x Social aspects $z England. 650 0 $a Work $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Economics and literature $z England $x History $y 19th century. 600 10 $a Eliot, George, $d 1819-1880. $t Silas Marner. 600 10 $a Dickens, Charles, $d 1812-1870. $t Our mutual friend. 600 10 $a Collins, Wilkie, $d 1824-1889. $t Moonstone. 600 10 $a Trollope, Anthony, $d 1815-1882. $t Way we live now. 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS $x Economic History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh. $x English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Economics and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902245 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 $a Service industries $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01113463 650 7 $a Work in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180310 650 7 $a Work $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180203 650 7 $a Working class in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180556 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 650 7 $a Arbeit. $0 (DE-588)4122820-0 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Dienstleistungssektor. $0 (DE-588)4012183-5 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Englisch. $0 (DE-588)4014777-0 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Roman. $0 (DE-588)4050479-7 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Wirtschaft. $0 (DE-588)4190031-5 $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1800 - 1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Palgrave studies in nineteenth-century writing and culture. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017014837.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F56ECAF6ECCE11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
