British Working Class in the Context of Deindustrialization in the Works of Pat Barker

Abstract

The bachelor thesis focuses on analytical research of cultural identities with emphasis on the British working class in the period of deindustrialization. The historical and cultural context, which, in some way, reflected in the development of this social class, is one the major aspects of the work. The analysis is based on the literary works by Pat Barker, who is one of the main representatives of the proletarian literature of that period.
