"Financial Speculation in Victorian Fiction is a welcome addition to the current economic criticism occurring in literary studies; it covers different ground than Poovey, Woodmansee, and Brantlinger do while also acknowledging and engaging with them. The addition of so many lesser-known novels shows how widespread the stock market motif is in Victorian fiction and also helps to fully place the more canonical novels in that tradition." --Gail Turley Houston, professor of English and director of women's studies, University of New Mexico
