• W328049052 abstract "parallel between language and money, literature and political economy, is not mere juxtaposition, but is made possible and operative by processes at work simultaneously in both economies. -Jean-Joseph Goux, Coiners of Language (1) Several critics have recently drawn persuasive analogies between birth of novel and first stirrings of financial capital. Colin Nicholson finds that, in eighteenth century, developing strategies of finance and commerce infiltrate rival assumptions and effects into literary structures of argument and response, (2) while Walter Benn Michaels observes that early prose fiction is structured by an economy in which excess is seen to generate power of both capitalism and (3) Marc Shell argues that, with rise of novel, the new forms of metaphorization or exchanges of meaning that accompanied new forms of economic symbolization and production were changing meaning of meaning itself, (4) and James Thompson claims that eighteenth-century England, both political economy and novel grow out of concerns with and variables, (5) due to a semiological crisis in concept of value (17). For Michael McKeon, novel bespeaks of consciousnes s which took place alongside rise to dominance of market economy: The fetishization of commodity under capitalism transforms it from social relation into mysterious social thing. In an analogous fashion, we might say, result of fetishization of Protestant allegory is that mysterious yet familiar thing, (6) J. Paul Hunter remarks that capitalism exacerbated Calvinist compulsion to use time profitably, which could be satisfied through improving activity of reading novels. (7) In her study of Daniel Defoe, Sandra Sherman focuses on effect that new money economy of early eighteenth century had on literary representations of self, arguing that the irrationality of market, infiltrated into discourse, subjects self to chronic contingency. (8) Sherman claims that Defoe's work is first to reflect this process: To (considerable) degree that Complete English Tradesman systematically portrays mental as consequence of mercantile processe s, it is unprecedented. Its insight is that mind is formed by economic formations. While this is post-Marxist commonplace, virtual absence of such discourse before Defoe is measure of text's significance (100). It seems to me that Sherman is unnecessarily uncompromising in her claims for Defoe's originality. I would argue that there is an earlier analysis of what she calls the psyche of Tradesman, which is presented in an even more germinal form of novel. I have in mind John Bunyan's Life and Death of Mr. Badman, and I hope to show that Bunyan's abandonment of his previous, allegorical mode in favor of semi-realist, proto-novelistic form is intimately involved with his denunciation of economic practices of market society. title character is Bunyan's comment on reification of subjectivity that takes place under market conditions, and subtle, transitional blend of allegory and realism with which Badman is presented provides formal means by which Bunyan deline ates psychological effects of large-scale commodity exchange. I Bunyan is usually considered as an allegorist rather than novelist, and his preferred mode of allegory is personification, or prosopopeia. (9) This device allows writer to manipulate degree to which behavior of allegorical figure corresponds to abstract quality of which it is representation. As Joan Webber has noted, preface to Bunyan's spiritual autobiography, Grace Abounding to Chief of Sinners goes very far toward making allegories of himself and his congregation. (10) In proem to first part of Pilgrim's Progress, Bunyan informs us that his allegory emerged unexpectedly, as if of its own volition, during composition of different, more realistic text: . …" @default.
