- Title
Colonel Jack's Pocket: Subjectivity, Money, and Metaphor.
- Authors
DeGabriele, Peter
- Abstract
A literary criticism is presented of the book "Colonel Jack" by Daniel Defoe. Jack identifies his self or subjectivity with a generalizable proverb at exactly the same time as he finds the boundaries of his self or subjectivity expanded by money. It relate figuration to money and property means focusing closely on how Defoe's exploration of the trope of metaphor works as an intervention into Locke's theory of money and its relation to his natural history of property.
