Early Modern Cultural Studies

| Summary |
Annotation Literary scholars, theorists, and historians deploy New Economic techniques to illuminate English Renaissance literature in fresh ways. Contributors variously explore poetry's precarious perch between gift and commodity; the longing for family in<i>The Comedy of Errors</i> as symbolically expressing the alienating pressures of mercantilism;<i>Measure for Measure's</i> representation of singlewomen and the feminization of poverty; the collision between two views of money in a possible collaboration between Shakespeare and Middleton; the cultural spread of an accounting mentality and quantitative thinking; and money as it crosses the frontier between price and pricelessness, from early bodily-injury insurance schemes to<i>The Merchant of Venice.</i><br> |
