The Economic Thought of Free Trade in the 19th-Century British Sea Novels
Britain,in the 19th century,underwent a profound change in economic form,completing the transformation from mercantilism to free trade.British sea novelists at this time showed a strong interest in the economic change of the period and responded positively.They mapped the abstract economic ideas of free trade into the subjective experience of characters in their financial life,and started a dialogue with the principle of free trade in reality from the literary level.Overall,the economic thought of free trade in the 19th-century influenced the creation of sea novels in that period,and the practice of sea novel writing in turn provided a textual field and discursive space for British thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of free trade.
