In this collection literary scholars, theorists and historians
deploy new economic techniques to illuminate English Renaissance
literature in fresh ways. Contributors variously explore poetry's
precarious perch between gift and commodity; the longing for family
in The Comedy of Errors as symbolically expressing the alienating
pressures of mercantilism; Measure for Measure 's representation of
singlewomen and the feminization of poverty; the collision between
two views of money in a possible collaboration between Shakespeare
and Middleton; the cultural spread of an accounting mentality and
quantitative thinking; and money as it crosses the frontier between
price and pricelessness, and from early bodily-injury insurance
schemes to The Merchant of Venice .
