About this product
Product Information
"I am a member of the bourgeois class, feel myself to be such, andhave been brought up on its opinions and ideals," wrote Max Weber, in 1895. Who could repeat these words today? Thus begins Franco Moretti s study of the bourgeois in modernEuropean literature, where a gallery of individual portraits isentwined around the analysis of specific keywords such as useful and earnest, efficiency, influence, comfort, roba and of theformal mutations of the medium of prose. The book charts the riseand fall of bourgeois culture, exploring the causes for its historical weakness, and searches for the seeds of its failures."

Reviews
"The great iconoclast of literary criticism."John Sutherland, Guardian "It's a rare literary critic who attracts so much public attention, and there's a good reason: few are as hellbent on rethinking the way we talk about literature." Times Literary Supplement "Moretti, a mythopoeic figure, generates around himself a dense network of folklore and apocrypha." n+1 "Moretti is already famous in bookish circles for his data-centric approach to novels, which he graphs, maps, and charts ... if his new methods catch on, they could change the way we look at literary history." Wired "Distant reading might prove to be a powerful tool for studying literature." New York Times, 'A passionate and astute scholar' --Jonathan Franzen 'Cleverly strips away the counting-house walls, watch chains and waistcoats to reveal a phase of middle-class history that was at least as anxious and self-scrutinising as its snobbish detractors could wish' -- Times Higher Education 'Shows how the novel as form served as the capacious and adaptable home within which the bourgeois could both assert and camouflage itself' -- LA Review of Books 'It's a rare literary critic who attracts so much public attention, and there's a good reason: few are as hellbent on rethinking the way we talk about literature' -- Times Literary Supplement 'An illuminating, data-rich analysis of a fraught and nuanced null set' -- New Inquiry, 'eoeIt's a rare literary critic who attracts so much public attention, and there's a good reason: few are as hellbent on rethinking the way we talk about literature.'e�

Seller absolutely, stubbornly refused to communicate with me on the item. I bought it anyway because it was a good price. I sent several messages that went unanswered. So sad. Other than that the shipping and condition was good. The packaging poor and I was very surprised it wasn't damaged. No padding just 2 thin plastic bags.
