Women's literature offers crucial and previously unconsidered economic insights into the relationship between slavery and capitalism, different from those we typically find in economics and economic histories. Allukian demonstrates that because women's imaginative and creative texts take the material-historical connection of slavery and capitalism as their starting point, they can be read for the more speculative extensions of that connection, extensions not possible to discover on a material-historical level. Indeed, Allukian contends, these authors and texts disclose unique economic insights, critiques, and theories in ways that are only possible through literary writing. The writers featured in this study-Harriet Beecher Stowe, Lucy Larcom, Harriet Jacobs, and Frances Ellen Watkins Harper-published written accounts of the continuities between slavery and capitalism including between language and activism, accounting and sentimentalism, labor and technology, race and property, and inheritance and reparations. Their essays, novels, poems, and autobiographies provided forums to document data, stimulate debate, generate resistance, and imagine alternatives to the United States' developing capitalist economy, engined and engineered by slavery. Without their unique economic insights, the national narrative we tell about the relationship between slavery and capitalism is incomplete"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : Nineteenth-century women writers and the slavery and capitalism debates -- Accounting for Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's cabin -- Slavery's cotton market in Lucy Larcom's "Weaving" -- Property knowledge in Harriet Jacob's Incidents in the life of a slave girl -- Reconstruction's inheritance in Frances Ellen Watkins Harper's Minnie's sacrifice. 600 10 $a Stowe, Harriet Beecher, $d 1811-1896. $t Uncle Tom's cabin. 600 10 $a Larcom, Lucy, $d 1824-1893. $t Weaving. 600 10 $a Jacobs, Harriet A. $q (Harriet Ann), $d 1813-1897. $t Incidents in the life of a slave girl. 600 10 $a Harper, Frances Ellen Watkins, $d 1825-1911. $t Minnie's sacrifice. 630 07 $a Incidents in the life of a slave girl (Jacobs, Harriet A.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01937934 630 07 $a Uncle Tom's cabin (Stowe, Harriet Beecher) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356094 650 0 $a Slavery in literature. 650 0 $a Capitalism in literature. 650 7 $a Capitalism in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00846462 650 7 $a Slavery in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120515 655 7 $a Literary criticism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 776 08 $i Online version: $a Allukian, Kristin. $t Slavery, capitalism, and women's literature $d Athens : The University of Georgia Press, [2023] $z 9780820364612 $w (DLC) 2022058139 830 0 $a Gender and slavery (Athens, Ga.) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517011311.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D6305E38141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
