N2 - In this article I offer a preliminary account of the role of metaphor as a representational strategy In Capital Volume One by Karl Marx. While extensive consideration and debate has been concerned with Marx’s writing on politics, philosophy, economics and literary theory, relatively little attention has been given to Capital as a work of literature.1 I offer a preliminary analysis of metaphor in Capital 1, reading three groupings of metaphors that occur throughout the text. Marx builds up an imagistic, metaphorical level of description that is sufficiently varied, rich and consistent to constitute an important feature of his project to represent capital2 in this text.
