Description - The New Economic Criticism by Martha Woodmansee
This collection explores the myriad ways in which economics and literature are mutually illuminating. Several essays employ economic principles and paradigms to offer striking new readings of literary and theoretical texts. These both extend current trends in literary scholarship towards historically informed methods, and interrogate those methods by exposing the material conditions under which texts are produced. Other essays present new work by economists schooled in feminist, literary and cultural theory, who suggest alternatives to the constraining models that dominate neoclassicalism. The volume thus demonstrates how economic criticism can both fruitfully examine texts for their economic form, content, and contexts, and also furnish new perspectives on cultural and economic history. Covering a wide range of topics, this volume features essays by influential literary and cultural historians such as Marc Shell, Jean-Joseph Goux, and Regenia Gagnier, along with contributions by representatives of the vanguard of postmodern economics such as M. Neil Browne, Susan Feiner, Jack Amariglio and David Ruccio.
It closes with a set of critical exchanges that outline further challenges for economic criticism. Jack Amariglio, Merrimack College, Linda Austin, Oklahoma State University, John R Barberet, Case Western, M. Neil Browne, Bowling Green State University, Brian Cooper/
