Description

Explore a fresh perspective on canonical Romanticism with Daniela Garofalo's scholarly analysis. This work challenges the traditional view that erotic love in the Romantic period served solely as a way to escape political and economic realities. Instead, Garofalo presents a compelling argument that love acts as a way to contest these very realities. Through a close reading of period literature, the text demonstrates how the desire for transcendence through love mirrors the desire for commodity consumption. This connection relies on the same dynamic of delayed fulfillment advocated by influential thinkers like Adam Smith. By linking emotional desire to economic structures, this book provides a new way to understand the relationship between human passion and the rising commodity culture of the era. It is an essential read for students and scholars interested in the intersection of literature, economics, and gender during the British Romantic period.
