Reviews for Modernism and Market Fantasy: British Fictions of Capital, 1910-1939
'This smart, sophisticated, enlightening study uses the lenses of new economic criticism to examine a diverse array of texts and to reveal how modernist literature discovers systems of irrational impulses at the heart of economic behavior and theory. The book makes a welcome and original contribution to modernist criticism.' - Mark Osteen, Professor of English, Loyola University Maryland, USA
