The Romantic Rhetoric of AccumulationAuthor(s): Lenora Hanson\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Stanford University Press, United States\nImprint: Stanford University Press\nISBN-13: 9781503632714, 978-1503632714\nSynopsis\nThe Romantic Rhetoric of Accumulation provides an account of the long arc of dispossession from the British Romantic period to today. Lenora Hanson glimpses histories of subsistence (such as reproductive labor, vagrancy and criminality, and unwaged labor) as figural ways of living that are superfluoussimultaneously more than enough to live and less than what is necessary for capitalism.\n\n Hanson treats rhetorical language as an archive of capital's accumulation through dispossession, in works by [url] Coleridge, Edmund Burke, Mary Robinson, William Wordsworth, Benjamin Moseley, Joseph Priestley, and Alexander von Humboldt, as well as in contemporary film and critical theory. Reading riots through apostrophe, enclosure through anachronism, superstition and witchcraft.
