Description:

Enlightening Allegory makes an assault on the Augustan face of a slippery literary form. Offering 15 essays on the theory, texts, and even historical implementations of allegory during the Enlightenment, it aims to provide both an encyclopaedic introduction to, and an innovative, analytic exploration of this much misunderstood mode. Essays from eminent established scholars like Hazard Adams, Paul Korshin, Dustin Griffin, and John Shawcross as well as from upcoming talents like Peter Walmsley, Janet Wolf, Neil Saccamano, and Veronica Kelly are included.
