Poetry & Money: A Speculation is a study of relationships
between poets, poetry, and money from Chaucer to contemporary
times. It begins by showing how trust is essential to the creation
of value in human exchange, and how money can, depending on
conditions, both enable and disable such trustfully collaborative
generations of value. Drawing upon a vast range of poetry for its
exemplifications, the book includes studies of poetic hardship,
religious verse and debt redeeming, the South Sea Bubble and the
economic revolution, debates over metallic and paper currency in
the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as well as modernist
struggles with the gold standard, depression, inflation, and the
realised groundlessness of exchange value. With its practitioner's
attention to the minutiae of poetic technique, it considers
analogies between words and coins, and between poetic rhythm and
the circulation of currencies in an economy. Through its close
readings of poems over many centuries directly or indirectly
engaged with money, it proposes ways in which, while we cannot
escape monetary economies, we can resist, to some extent, being
ensnared and diminished by them - through a fresh understanding of
values money may serve to enable, but ones which are nevertheless
beyond price.
