Real Money and Romanticism interprets poetry and fiction by Sir
Walter Scott, John Keats, and Charles Dickens in the context of
changes in the British monetary system and in the broader economy
during the early nineteenth century. In this period modern systems
of paper money and intellectual property became established;
Matthew Rowlinson describes the consequent changes in relations
between writers and publishers and shows how a new conception of
material artifacts as the bearers of abstract value shaped Romantic
conceptions of character, material culture, and labor. A fresh and
radically different contribution to the growing field of inquiry
into the 'economics' of literature, this is an ingenious and
challenging reading of Romantic discourse from the point of view of
monetary theory and history.
