Description
Book SynopsisSpeculative Fictions places Alexander Hamilton at the center of American literary history to consider the important intersections between economics and literature.
Trade ReviewSpeculative Fictions will alter the way we must read the period of the framers, economic writing, and literary writing of many forms. Hewitt's volume should inspire us to read through her lens the more traditionally labeled literature we tend to teach, and to broaden the forms of literature we include in syllabi. * Howard Horwitz, The University of Utah *
This is a timely and important work—deeply and creatively researched, expansive, interdisciplinary (without cliché), and original in conception and execution. * Philip Gould, Brown University *
Hewitt makes a compelling, lucid, and insightful case for reading what are now considered the separate domains of early economic theory and literature as interdependent and mutually illuminating...Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty. * A. T. Hale, University of Puget Sound, CHOICE *
