Physiognomy of capital in Charles Dickens

Description:

A materialist approach to the fictions of Charles Dickens based on a reading-in of the historical background, creative application of Walter Benjamin's methodology, as well as a re-reading the philological core of the minor works. Re-configures the canonical novels within the framework of 19th century London and the capital/cash nexus of Charles Dickens' fictive network.
