This paper examines Harriet Martineau’s novella A Manchester Strike in conjunction with moral aspects of British political economy. First systematized in the eighteenth century by Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations, the subject of political economy became widely popularized in the early decades of the nineteenth century. As the study of the production and distribution of wealth, political economy proposed a system of market principles that govern the economic activities of the nation. Harriet Martineau’s novellas in the series Illustrations of Political Economy aim to explicate the laws of political economy through the medium of fiction, making a statement on the uses of literature for social ends. Rather than merely creating characters and plots to demonstrate laws of the new science, Martineau emphasizes the moral causes and consequences of political economy in her fiction. Martineau further draws on Thomas Malthus’s theory of population in order to integrate the moral insights of political economy with the meaning and value of didactic literature. In A Manchester Strike, Martineau seeks to explicate the equilibrium between labor and capital as a balance between supply and demand. This paper analyzes Martineau’s depiction of the workers’ strike through the moral perspectives of Smith and Malthus, complicating her status as a straightforward popularizer of political economy. I argue that Martineau aspires to represent the improvement of labor conditions through Malthusian principles. Martineau attempts an early literary reconciliation with industrial capitalism by emphasizing human interest in the working class and sympathy toward individuals. Positioned at the generic intersection of economics and literature, Martineau’s fiction explores moral elements across disciplinary boundaries that shaped broader intellectual culture in pre-Victorian Britain.
