Kitchen Economics
An analysis of how nineteenth-century women regional writers represent political economic thoughtReaders of late nineteenth-century female American authors are familiar with plots, characters, and households that make a virtue of economizing. Offering case studies of key works by Sarah Orne Jewett, Mary Wilkins Scholars often interpret these scenarios in terms of a mythos of parsimony, frequently accompanied by a sort of elegiac republicanism whereby self-sufficiency and autonomy are put to the service of the greater good--a counterworld to the actual economic conditions of the period.In Kitchen Economics: Women's Regionalist Fiction and Political Economy, Thomas Strychacz takes a new approach to the question of how female regionalist fictions represent "the economic" by situating them within traditions of classical political economic thought.
