Pleasures of Benthamism: Victorian Literature, Utility, Political Economy
Blake, Kathleen (Professor of English,, University of Washington)
A fresh look at the often-censured but imperfectly understood traditions of Utilitarianism and political economy in relation to Victorian literature and culture. Setting the writings of Bentham, Smith, Malthus, Mill, Dickens, Carlyle, Trollope, Eliot, Gaskell, and Tagore in historical context, Blake widens awareness of commonalities across the age.
