Five experts in different periods of English literature have produced original surveys of how business has been portrayed by novelists from the 18th through the 20th centuries. Topics include: 18th Century Attitudes Towards Business. Early 19th Century: Birmingham. High Victorian Periods ('The Worship of Mammon'). Early 20th Century: Uniformity, Drudgery & Economics. Mid-late 20th Century: 'An Unprecedented Moral Quagmire.' Professor Pollard summarizes the view of the novelists as the belief that 'making money is a dirty game.'
