This dissertation traces attitudes towards gender and the economy in figural works of British literature from the 1640s to the 1720s. It studies ideologies about production and social structure during a revolutionary phase of capitalism in England and asserts that the complex discursive separation of the household from the market is best seen in figural texts where languages of economics and gender interact with one another. Revisiting Max Weber's thesis that the interaction of Protestantism and capitalism effected an ideological and practical division between the world of the family and the world of business, this dissertation concludes that such a division can only be understood once a third term, gender, is added as a category of historical analysis. A dose reading of figural works by three authors who best represent the ideological antagonisms and shifts in question—John Milton, Anne Bradstreet, and Daniel Defoe—reveals that the separation of the household from the market can be understood as part of a larger cultural effort to comprehend a rapidly changing world through strategic distinctions between productive and unproductive activity, an effort that also engages with a process of secularization. The dissertation concludes that the inconsistent and incoherent polarities established between “public,” business and “private,” domestic realms in domestic ideology express the contradictory nature of bourgeois ideology itself.

This dissertation traces attitudes towards gender and the economy in figural works of British literature from the 1640s to the 1720s. It studies ideologies about production and social structure during a revolutionary phase of capitalism in England and asserts that the complex discursive separation of the household from the market is best seen in figural texts where languages of economics and gender interact with one another. Revisiting Max Weber's thesis that the interaction of Protestantism and capitalism effected an ideological and practical division between the world of the family and the world of business, this dissertation concludes that such a division can only be understood once a third term, gender, is added as a category of historical analysis. A dose reading of figural works by three authors who best represent the ideological antagonisms and shifts in question—John Milton, Anne Bradstreet, and Daniel Defoe—reveals that the separation of the household from the market can be understood as part of a larger cultural effort to comprehend a rapidly changing world through strategic distinctions between productive and unproductive activity, an effort that also engages with a process of secularization.

Exploring interrelated languages of economics and gender in figural texts, the introduction argues that, because they often encompasses multiple, often contradictory, ideologies, allegorical and figural texts merit greater and subtler scrutiny by historians as well as literary critics. Chapter one reads Milton's divorce tracts and <italic>Comus</italic> alongside early seventeenth-century economic essays by Thomas Culpeper, Robert Filmer, and James Spottiswood, showing that economic discourses shaped ideas about the roles of men and women, and that discourses of gender reciprocally influenced ideas about the economy. Chapter two examines Anne Bradstreet's metaphors of marriage, motherhood, and religious debt within the context of colonial attitudes towards usury. Chapter three addresses the secularization of themes found in Milton and Bradstreet in relation to the early eighteenth-century debate over the British economy. The dissertation ends with a return to Weber's thesis.
