This week I've been mainly reading, no. 283.
Ethel Carnie's early C20th novel of working class lives, Miss Nobody (1913/2013) is an exercise in self-aware working class writing. Covering the gamut from women's place in early C20th society, to industrial organisation, by way of the role of romantic novels for working class readers & poverty, this is a really compelling read, but also for its time innovative in its frequent shifts in narrative focus.
