Description

This paper examines how the emerging field of "new philology" shaped the nineteenth-century critique of political economy advanced by Carlyle and Ruskin. Carlyle viewed the systematic rhetorical conventions of political economy as a threat to all forms of discourse. Written in a climate of rigorous philological debate, On Heroes and Hero-Worship sought through rhetorical eccentricity and linguistic innovation to resist the mechanization of language as a source of cultural meaning. Writing amidst very different philological debates later in the period, Ruskin developed Carlyle's implicit critique into a direct attack on political economy in Unto this Last, but, in attempting to reform rather than resist the discourse, deployed a systematic rhetoric that could only duplicate the machine of language. **********
