Commonly understood as a means for transcending political and economic realities, love, for several canonical Romantic writers, offers, instead, a contestation of those realities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGarofalo argues that Romantic writers show that the desire for transcendence through love mimics the desire for commodity consumption and depends on the same dynamic of delayed fulfilment that was advocated by thinkers such as Adam Smith. As writers such as William Blake, Lord Byron, Sir Walter Scott, John Keats, and Emily Brontë engaged with the period's concern with political economy and the nature of desire, they challenged stereotypical representations of women either as self-denying consumers or as intemperate participants in the market economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, their works show the importance of women for understanding modern economics, with women's desire conceived as a force that not only undermines the political economy's emphasis on productivity, growth, and perpetual consumption, but also holds forth the possibility of alternatives to a system of capitalist exchange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWomen, Love, and Commodity Culture in British Romanticism\u003c\/em\u003e by Daniela Garofalo presents this critical perspective, reshaping our comprehension of love's role and women's representation during the Romantic period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608287035628,"sku":"9781409441014","price":353.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6253e912de520e752f290e309404423a.jpg?v=1778201076"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/daniela-garofalo.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
