Merge with Social novel?

This article covers the same territory as the Social novel, so that they should be perhaps be merged. Any comment? Rwood128 (talk) 11:31, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On further thought perhaps this article should be merged with that for Proletarian literature, rather than that for the Social novel; not all working-class, or industrial novels are necessarily social novels, because some simply portraying working class life. On the other hand the current content is duplicated on the Social novel page and the only difference is in the bibliography. Does anyone have any views on this?

Unless there's objection I will shortly merge this article with that for the Social novel. Re the previous comment, it is probably best to deal with working-class novels, that just portray working-class life, within Proletarian literature, which now has less of a political emphasis than before.
