On British class

Abstract

　Social class is one of the notable features in English literature. I think British government tries to downplay the social class system at present. However, this system has great influence on culture, occupation, education and so on in British daily life. Problems concerning the social classes often have broken onto the surface of life. My research focuses on the novels concerned with this aspect of society in the twentieth century. My study is about the changing social stratum and the novels as its reflection.
