Tis Better to Give: The Conduct Manual as Gift / Marilyn Francus -- The Gift of an Education: Sarah Trimmer's Oeconomy of Charity and the Sunday School Movement / Dorice Williams Elliott -- Part III. The Erotics of the Gift -- Obligation, Coercion, and Economy: The Deed of Trust in Congreve's The Way of the World / Cynthia Klekar -- The Erotics of the Gift: Gender and Exchange in the Eighteenth-Century Novel / Charles Haskell Hinnant -- Fictions of the Gift in Sarah Scott's MilleniumHall / Jennie Batchelor -- The Nation, the Gift, and the Market in The Wanderer / Linda Zionkowski -- Part IV. The Gift and Commerce -- Josiah Wedgewood's Goodwill Marketing / Susan B. Egenolf -- Anson at Canton, 1743: Obligation, Exchange, and Ritual in Edward Page's Secret History / Robert Markley.

Offering a variety of disciplinary perspectives, The Culture of the Gift in Eighteenth-Century England analyzes the long-overlooked role ofgift exchange in literary texts, cultural documents, and economic relations in the period from 1660-1800. Contributors argue that the gift was instrumental to the workings of eighteenth-century society: it supported the phenomenal rise of charities, explained the increasingly complicated trade relations, enforced conventions of obligation and social hierarchies, and both strengthened and challenged the emergence of a market economy. Building upon theworks of recent theorists, these essays provide innovative readings of how gift transactions shapedthe institutions and practices that gave this era its distinctive identity.
