This book traces the effects of materiality - including money and
its opposite, poverty - on the psychical lives of George Bernard
Shaw and his characters. While this study focuses on the
protagonists of the five novels Shaw wrote in the late 1870s and
early 1880s, it also explores how materialism, feeling, and emotion
are linked throughout his entire canon. At the same time, it
demonstrates how Shaw's conceptions of human subjectivity parallel
those of two of his contemporaries, Sigmund Freud and Georg Simmel.
In particular, this book explores how theories of so-called
'marginal economics' influence fin de siecle thought about human
psychology and the sociology of the modern metropolis, particularly
London.
