The Complexity of Class - A Study of Ideology and the Power of Literature in Ian McEwan's Narrative
(2009) ENGK01 20091English Studies
- Abstract
- Ian McEwan's novels Atonement and Saturday open up for discussion of class. Present-day society gives people access to art and literature to a greater extent than before, which evens out the divisions of knowledge over class boundaries. McEwan seems to suggest that literature can pave the way for overcoming class differences through sympathy and identification. This essay aims to examine what literature can do for the complications of class.
