Drawing on works by Walter Scott, Dickens, Charlotte Bronte, and others, Romances of Free Trade offers a new account of the cultural work of romance in nineteenth-century Britain, arguing that novelists and playwrights employed the genre to represent a radically new historical formation: the emergence of the global free-market economy.
