요약Valuing the Evaluator: Economic Judgment in Eighteenth-Century Narrative argues that the constructions of economic value in eighteenth century Britain had a complex history outside the canonical texts of what is typically categorized as political economy as such. Through applying neoclassical economics' account of value as subjective and revealed by individual preferences, I read literary texts as equally engaged in theorizing and testing questions of what counts as value, who gets to participate in value-formation, and how individual assertions of value challenge the broader socio-economic structures in which eighteenth-century individuals lived, especially the financial and consumer revolutions of the long eighteenth century, as well as the transatlantic slave trade.Through four case studies in novels and novel-like narratives spanning the long eighteenth century, I show that economic judgments, as practiced via behaviors like investment, exchange, and consumption, are essential to how characters in these texts establish and assert their own value. In each of these cases, individual claims to value depend both on material engagements with the real economy as well as radically imaginative acts of self-fashioning that gave meaning to their economic lives. This account draws particular attention to the experiences of individuals not typically considered part of formal economic systems-women without property, the racialized, the enslaved-as a new way of reading works by canonical authors. I argue that these individual experiences best expose the limits and tensions of value formation as deeply ambivalent and contradictory processes. In doing so, I write a supplement to the history of economic thought, showing that economic thought is not only practiced by, but significantly concerned with, how ordinary people apprehend the economic interactions that structure their lives.
