Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book analyses relationships between writing and the financial |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
structures of the 19th century. What emerges is a remarkable set of imaginative connections between literature and Victorian finance, including women and the culture of investment, the profits of a media age, and the uncomfortable relationship between literary and financial capital. |
