"Marxism and Literary History"

"Marxism and Literary History" explores how economic and social class influences literature and its analysis. It suggests that literary works are shaped by the class struggles, power dynamics, and material conditions of their time. By examining literature through a Marxist lens, scholars aim to reveal underlying social inequalities and the ways authors reflect or challenge dominant ideologies. This perspective emphasizes understanding literature not just as art, but as part of broader societal and economic contexts, highlighting how literature can both reproduce and critique social realities.
