William Blake, Lord Byron, Sir Walter Scott, John Keats and Emily Brontë engaged with the period's concern with political economy and the nature of desire, challenging stereotypical representations of women consumers and conceiving of women's desire as a force for radical change.English literature19th centuryHistory and criticismWomen in literatureLove in literatureEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Women in literature.Love in literature.820.9007Garofalo Daniela1968-1602884MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810443303321Women, love, and commodity culture in British romanticism4084650UNINA
