| "Come buy, come buy"—the call of Christina Rossetti’s goblins encapsulates the lure and menace of Victorian commodity culture. This international conference will bring together specialists in Victorian art history, history, gender studies, science, and literature to contemplate the many markets of Victorian England and its colonies. Papers will address literary and art markets, financial markets, Victorian capitalism, speculation, consumerism and economic transformations. |
