Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman's 'Jerome, A Poor Man' is a poignant novel that delves into the harsh realities of poverty in late 19th century America. Written in a straightforward and realistic style, Freeman's storytelling captures the struggles of Jerome, a working-class man trying to make ends meet in a society that offers little sympathy to the poor. The novel's vivid descriptions and character development provide a stark portrayal of the social hierarchies and economic inequality of the time, making it a significant work of American literary realism. Freeman's writing is both insightful and compassionate, shedding light on the hardships faced by the lower class in a rapidly industrializing society. The themes of class struggle, personal dignity, and societal injustice resonate with readers even today, making 'Jerome, A Poor Man' a timeless and thought-provoking read that offers valuable reflections on the human condition.
One of the few points critics and readers can agree upon when discussing the fiction popularly known as New Space Opera – a recent subgenre movement of science fiction – is its canny engagement with contemporary cultural politics in the age of globalisation. This book avers that the complex political allegories of New Space Opera respond to the recent cultural phenomenon known as neoliberalism, which entails the championing of the deregulation and privatisation of social services and programmes in the service of global free-market expansion. Providing close readings of the evolving New Space Opera canon and cultural histories and theoretical contexts of neoliberalism as a regnant ideology of our times, this book conceptualises a means to appreciate this thriving movement of popular literature.
