Abstract

[Cecilia Wadsö Lecaros takes as her subject the reception in Sweden of Harriet Martineau’s fictional illustrations of political economy from the 1830s, using this as a representative example of the transnational circulation of ideas around northern Europe in the mid-nineteenth century. Today, Martineau is recognised as a pioneer of didactic fiction in sociology and political economy in Britain, but little scholarly attention has yet been paid to the early reception of her work overseas. Wadsö Lecaros’s path-breaking research here illustrates, in particular, how accounts of Martineau in Swedish newspapers and periodical reviews, premised on material taken originally from British sources, contributed to the reshaping of Martineau’s stories, in translation, for a Swedish audience—often for commercial as well as for ideological reasons.]
