Inhaltsangabe

Anyone who has ever said one thing and meant another has spoken in the mode of allegory. The allegorical expression of ideas pervades literature, art, music, religion, politics, business, and advertising. But how does allegory really work and how should we understand it? For more than forty years, Angus Fletcher's classic book has provided an answer that is still unsurpassed for its comprehensiveness, brilliance, and eloquence. With a preface by Harold Bloom and a substantial new afterword by the author, this edition reintroduces this essential text to a new generation of students and scholars of literature and art.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

"This is still the best account of allegory we have. It is a remarkable fusion of theoretical speculation and brilliant literary analysis. If I were teaching a course on allegory, this would be the major book I would assign."--Stanley Fish, author of How Milton Works

"An enormously valuable tool for understanding complex literary texts like Spenser's Faerie Queene."--Stephen Greenblatt, author of Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare
