<\/a><\/div>\n
In Economic Woman<\/i>, Deanna K. Kreisel shows how images of feminized sexuality in novels by George Eliot and Thomas Hardy reflected widespread contemporary anxieties about the growth of capitalism. Economic Woman<\/i> is the first book to address directly the links between classical political economy and gender in the novel. Examining key works by Eliot and Hardy, including The Mill on the Floss<\/i> and Tess of the d\u2019Urbervilles<\/i>, Kreisel investigates the meaning of two female representations: the \u2018economic woman,\u2019 who embodies idealized sexual restraint and wise domestic management, and the degraded prostitute, characterized by sexual excess and economic turmoil. Kreisel effectively integrates economic thought with literary analysis to contribute to an ongoing and lively scholarly discussion.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
