In the following essay, Moncef examines Pound's disdain for gold as a symbol of evil. According to Moncef "the malevolent aspect of gold exists in its own right throughout Pound's works; however, within this negative imaginary dimension of gold, there also lies its positive function as a master-signifier of discursive and economic author-ity."

This is a free excerpt of 76 words. There are 8,001 words (approx. 27 pages at 300 words per page) in the full critical essay.
