Modernism and Finance Capital : British Literature, 1870–1940 Hardback
by Regina (Denison University, Ohio) Martin
Hardback
Description
Modernism and Finance Capital interprets modernism as a historical moment of financial crisis.
It expands the definition of finance capital beyond mode of capital accumulation and value form to include a complex of historical processes during the modernist period, which includes the growth of the professional classes, the rise of the modern corporation, the economic turn toward London, and the emergence of affect as economic and literary value form.
The book thereby locates the origins of twenty-first century affective economy in the turn-of-the-twentieth century modernist and financial revolutions.
Scholars working at the crossroads of economic and cultural studies will find a model for how to interpret literature and other cultural artifacts as participating in economic processes of finance capital even when they do not engage explicitly with such issues.
