The Bourgeois: Between History and Literature by Franco Moretti

innashtakser's review against another edition

5.0

Brilliant book on how confident culture-buliding bourgeoisie turned into the middle classes, desperately trying to adopt existing cultural concepts to justify their existence. And on prose as the ultimate bourgeois writing style.

wmhenrymorris's review against another edition

A good example of the use of digital humanities (specifically statistical analysis of text corpuses) in a way that augments rather than replaces standard theory-laden literary criticism.
