Reviews

Samantha Briggs:
‘Kreisel’s detailed analysis of gender and political economy is intriguing and insightful. Most impressively, Kreisel’s discussion weaves together ideas about history, Economics and narrative closure in engaging and original ways.’

Robyn Warhol:
‘Exemplary first book… One of the greatest strengths is its exposition of how political economy developed in nineteenth-century Britain.’
