Economies of Desire at the Victorian Fin de Siècle
«
"Economies of Desire at the Victorian Fin de Siècle draws attention to the rich field of study available through examining literary mediations on the interactions between economy and desire at the end of the nineteenth century. This book is eminently readable, academically rigorous, and offers contributions to multiple disciplines. The collection invites further research with its enthusiastic and generous tone, and its idiosyncratic approach." - Louise Benson James, University of Bristol
