The Cambridge Companion to Allegory

寓言是一門廣闊的學科，它的歷史令人生畏，對於學生甚至是高級學者來說，都是在他們自己的歷史專業之外冒險這個以清晰、系統和專業的方式呈現在整個時間範圍內構成寓意傳統的各種線索。從希臘古代開始，書展示了詩歌處理哲學，神秘宗教和詮釋學的最早寓言系統。

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.
