Study of Romanticism (NASSR)

31 August -- 3 September 2006

"Romantic and Victorian Finance"

This panel will focus on the varying risks and rewards of financial
practices as they emerge in nineteenth-century literature and culture.
Especially welcome are papers that consider how financial disruptions,
controversies, or transformations in the early nineteenth century -- such as
bank failures, the Restriction Period, or the growing prevalence of paper
money -- are remembered, repressed, or refigured in the Victorian period. To
what degree were Victorian financial practices and discourses predicated --
or presumed to be predicated -- on a response to an earlier history of
marked by revolution and war? How are financial mechanisms and institutions
implicated in understandings of individual and/or national identity? Papers
may also address the shifting representation of specific financial "types,"
such as "homo economicus" or the "stock-jobber"; conceptions of financial
crime and its perpetrator in law and literature; or the relationship between
financial and literary authorship.
