description: Through an examination of texts from the early sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, Wenzel considers the multiple relations between money and language in German literature. Each text is treated as indicative of how people in a particular time period thought about such issues as abstraction, ready negotiability, and exchangeability. Wenzel works as a translator in Switzerland. The text is based upon her doctoral thesis at University College London. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
