In Culture and Money in the Nineteenth Century: Abstracting Economics, two luminaries in the field of Victorian studies, Daniel Bivona and Marlene Tromp, have collected contributions from leading thinkers that push New Economic Criticism in new and exciting directions.  Spanning the Americas, India, England, and Scotland, this volume adopts an inclusive, global view of the cultural effects of economics and exchange. Contributors use the concept of abstraction to show how economic thought and concerns around money permeated all aspects of nineteenth-century culture, from the language of wills to arguments around the social purpose of art.  The characteristics of investment and speculation; the fraught symbolic and practical meanings of paper money to the Victorians; the shifting value of goods, services, and ideas; the evolving legal conceptualizations of artistic ownership—all of these, contributors argue, are essential to understanding nineteenth-century culture in Britain and beyond.  Contributors: Daniel Bivona, Suzanne Daly, Jennifer Hayward, Aeron Hunt, Roy Kreitner, Kathryn Pratt Russell, Cordelia Smith, and Marlene Tromp.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49752464032017,"sku":"NGR9780821426067","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0821426060.jpg?v=1763473290"},{"product_id":"desire-and-contradiction-book-daniel-bivona-9780719029530","title":"Desire and Contradiction","description":"By analyzing literary and historical texts, this book examines the relationship between representations of imperial issues and the domestic social and cultural questions which are enmeshed with them in Victorian Britain.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49874676580625,"sku":"GOR005889078","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0719029538.jpg?v=1750881381"},{"product_id":"british-imperial-literature-1870-1940-book-daniel-bivona-9780521066587","title":"British Imperial Literature, 1870-1940","description":"This book is a sweeping study of the way British writers used imperial service as a stage for dramatizing new modes of social order and self-consciousness.

Rather Dan Bivona and Roger B. Henkle argue that the representation of abject poverty in the nineteenth century also displaced anxieties aroused by a variety of challenges to Victorian middle class masculinity. The book's main argument, in fact, is that the male middle class imagery of urban poverty in the Victorian age presents a complex picture, one in which anxieties about competition, violence, class-based resentment, individuality, and the need to differentiate oneself from the scions of inherited wealth influence mightily the ways in which the urban poor are represented. In the representations themselves, the urban poor are alternately envisioned as sentimentalized (and feminized) victims who stimulate middle class affective response, as the objects of the professionalized discourses of the social sciences (and social services), and as an often hostile social force resistant to the culturalizing, taming processes of a maternalist social science. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through carefully nuanced discussions of a variety of Victorian novelists, journalists, and sociological investigators (some well known, like Dickens, and others less well known, like Masterman and Greenwood), the book offers new insight into the role played by the imagination of the urban poor in the construction of Victorian middle class masculinity. Whereas many scholars have discussed the feminization of the poor, virtually no one has addressed how the poor have served as a site at which middle class men fashioned their own class and gender identity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52597058371857,"sku":"NLS9780814255353","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780814255353.jpg?v=1761073668"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-daniel-bivona.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
