A sociohistory of German bourgeois literature from 1770-1914 based on detailed readings of six cononical literary texts.

Examines the discourses of aesthetics and philosophy alongside economic thought, arguing that their domains are not mutually exclusive. Based on readings of canonical literary and philosophical texts, the author explores how this confluence led to a rich cross-fertilization between economic and literary thought in Germany between 1770-1850.
