Abstract:

As the world still reels from the financial crisis of 2007-8, it seems timely
to reflect on the connections between money and value embedded in all our
discourses about economy, language and literature. The essays in this volume
bring together a wide range of approaches to demonstrate how the discipline of
English studies and language and literature studies more generally rest on a
goldmine of largely unexamined economic metaphors: from Ferdinand de
Saussure’s notions of linguistic “value” to the actual economic value of
English as a second language; from Shakespeare’s uncanny eye for the fiduciary
principle of the modern economy to Joyce’s “scrupulous meanness” as an economy
of style; from women interrupting the circulation of money in early modern
comedy to “living well on nothing a day” in Thackeray’s Vanity Fair; from
derivatives in the poetics of Anne Carson to the generic economy of gay
coming-out films.
