| Sumario: | A unique collection of essays by allegory specialists and other scholars who engage allegory in exciting new ways. The essays are not limited to an examination of literary texts and works of art, and in fact focus on a wide range of topics that includes architecture, philosophy, theatre, science, and law. The book proves the truism that all language is allegorical, and more importantly it shows its consequences. To 'think allegory otherwise' is to think otherwise - to rethink not only the idea of allegory itself, but also the law and its execution, the literality of figurative abstraction, and the figurations upon which even hard science depends. |
