Collectivity—Past and Present
Keyword(s):
Chapter 1 explains who the Levellers were, and their significance, outlining the Leveller community’s development of a hermeneutics of collectivity as the cornerstone of their demands for political and social justice. It explores the resistance in modern literary history to recognizing the long-term impact of that hermeneutics. Shaped by the powerful events of World War II, modern literary history, it is contended, was coopted by an epistemology of singularity and has struggled over the last half of the twentieth century to “read” and understand the effect of community on the production of knowledge. The chapter outlines the contents of the rest of the book chapter by chapter.
