Since the 1980s, scholars have made the case for examining
nineteenth-century culture-particularly literary output-through the
lens of economics. In Culture and Money in the Nineteenth Century:
Abstracting Economics, two luminaries in the field of Victorian
studies, Daniel Bivona and Marlene Tromp, have collected
contributions from leading thinkers that push New Economic
Criticism in new and exciting directions. Spanning the Americas,
India, England, and Scotland, this volume adopts an inclusive,
global view of the cultural effects of economics and exchange.
Contributors use the concept of abstraction to show how economic
thought and concerns around money permeated all aspects of
nineteenth-century culture, from the language of wills to arguments
around the social purpose of art. The characteristics of investment
and speculation; the fraught symbolic and practical meanings of
paper money to the Victorians; the shifting value of goods,
services, and ideas; the evolving legal conceptualizations of
artistic ownership-all of these, contributors argue, are essential
to understanding nineteenth-century culture in Britain and beyond.
Contributors: Daniel Bivona, Suzanne Daly, Jennifer Hayward, Aeron
Hunt, Roy Kreitner, Kathryn Pratt Russell, Cordelia Smith, and
Marlene Tromp.
