LITERARY STUDIESBy:
Hikmah Pravitasari
SOCIOLOGY = LITERATURE?
WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIOLOGY AND LITERATURE?
Sociology is essentially the scientific, objective study of man in society, the study of social
institution and of social processes: it seeks to answer the question of how society is possible,
how it works, why it persists (Swingewood, 1972: 11)
Sociology
Studies human in real condition at
everyday life
Literature
Made based on phenomena on
everyday happening social life
Sociology reflects the way literature interacts with society
As Swingewood(1972: 12)
states
Sociology of literature is one of literary approach which can be applied in the
study of literature work
Sociology of literature is basically aimed to analyze literature work in terms of the author’s social status, the availability of markets, the stipulation of type’s publication, and the structure of the leader
(Laurensen and Swingewood, 1972: 14)
The purpose in research of sociology literature is to get a complete and total description of the interrelated relationship among the author literary work and the society (Damono in Jabrohim, 2001: 169).

From 1849 to 1850, Dickens worked on David
Copperfield, the first work of its kind; no one had ever written a novel that simply
followed a character through his everyday life. In
writing it, Dickens tapped into his own personal experiences, from his
difficult childhood to his work as a journalist.
He started publishing his first novel, Oliver Twist,
which follows the life of an orphan living in the streets. The story was inspired by
how Dickens felt as an impoverished child forced to get by on his wits and
earn his own keep.
