Allegory is a vast subject, and its knotty history is daunting
to students and even advanced scholars venturing outside their own
historical specializations. This Companion will present, lucidly,
systematically, and expertly, the various threads that comprise the
allegorical tradition over its entire chronological range.
Beginning with Greek antiquity, the volume shows how the earliest
systems of allegory developed in poetry dealing with philosophy,
mystical religion, and hermeneutics. Once the earliest histories
and themes of the allegorical tradition have been presented, the
volume turns to literary, intellectual, and cultural manifestations
of allegory through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The essays in
the last section address literary and theoretical approaches to
allegory in the modern era, from reactions to allegory in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to reevaluations of its power
in the thought of the twentieth century and beyond.
