Fiction, Famine, and the Rise of Economics in Victorian Britain and Ireland (Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture, Series Number 40) - Hardcover
During the Irish Famine of 1845-52, novels by Dickens and Gaskell, as well as a range of commentaries on the Irish disaster, argued for a new theory of individual expression in opposition to the systemized approach to economic life that political economy proposed. These romantic views of human subjectivity eventually provided the foundation for a new theory of capitalism based on the desires of the individual consumer.

Book Description:
Before the emergence of modern economics, political economy was a worldly discipline, of interest to readers of novels, and to novelists. At the time of the Irish Famine of 1845 52, novels by Dickens and Gaskell, and a range of commentaries on the Irish disaster, argued for a new theory of individual expression in opposition to the systemized approach to economic life that political economy proposed. Gradually these romantic views of human subjectivity provided the foundation for a new theory of capitalism based on the desires of the individual consumer.
