Publisher's Synopsis

Contemporary philosophies and literary theories, which give pre-eminence to primary linguistics forms (symbol and metaphor), seem to favour just that which makes intelligible communication possible. But they fall short in accounting for the deepest subliminal founts that prompt the mind to exalt in beauty and virtue, transcending aspiration.;The present collection shows how allegory offers highlights for culture, with its fluctuations and transformation. This collective effort retrieves the vision of the exalted human spirit, bringing together literature, theatre, music and painting in a variety of revealing perspectives. The authors include: M. Kronegger, Ch. Raffini, J. Smith, J.B. Williamson, H. Ross, M.F. Wagner, F. Divorne, L. Oppenheim, D.K. Heckerl, N. Campi de Castro, P. Saurez Pascual, M. Alfaro Amieiro, H. Fletcher Thompson, R.J. Wilson III and A. Stensaas.;This text is intended for specialists, students and workers in philosophy, comparative literature, aesthetic phenomenologists and historians of art.
