In this book, the outstanding Italian literary critic Franco Moretti examines in detail the figure of the bourgeois in modern European literature. Moretti's gallery of individual portraits is intertwined with an analysis of key words - "useful" and "serious", "efficiency", "influence", "comfort", "roba [good, property]" and formal mutations of prose. Starting with the "working master" in the first chapter, through the seriousness of nineteenth-century novels, the conservative hegemony of Victorian Britain, the "national deformations" of the southern and eastern periphery, and the radical self-criticism of Ibsen's plays, this book describes the vicissitudes of bourgeois culture, examining the reasons for its historical weakness and gradual fading into the past. .
The book is of interest to philologists, historians, sociologists, and philosophers.
