In recent years, money, finance, and the economy have emerged as
central topics in literary studies. The Cambridge Companion to
Literature and Economics explains the innovative critical methods that
scholars have developed to explore the economic concerns of texts
ranging from the medieval period to the present. Across seventeen
chapters by field-leading experts, the book highlights how, throughout
literary history, economic matters have intersected with crucial
topics including race, gender, sexuality, nation, empire, and the
environment. It also explores how researchers in other disciplines are
turning to literature and literary theory for insights into economic
questions. Combining thorough historical coverage with attention to
emerging issues and approaches, this Companion will appeal to literary
scholars and to historians and social scientists interested in the
literary and cultural dimensions of economics.
