Victorian Investments explores the relationship between the
financial system in Great Britain and other aspects of Victorian
society and culture. Building on the special journal issue of
Victorian Studies devoted to Victorian investments, this volume is
the first to define an interdisciplinary field of study emerging in
the space between Marxist critiques of capitalism and traditional
histories of business and economics. The contributors demonstrate
how phenomena such as the expansion of colonial and foreign
markets, the broadening of the investor base through the advent of
limited liability, and the rise of financial journalism gave rise
to a "culture of investment" that affected Victorian Britons at
every level of society and influenced every kind of cultural
production. Drawing together work by prominent historians as well
as literary and cultural critics, Victorian Investments both
defines the methodologies and perspectives that characterize an
existing body of scholarship and pushes that scholarship in new
directions, demonstrating the signal role of economic developments
in Victorian culture and society.
