Focusing mainly upon language, communication, textuality, etc., as
is overwhelmingly today's fashion, we miss the very raison d'etre
of literature and language itself. Moving a step further in our
investigation of the anthropologico-ontopoietic sources of the
life-significance of literature by unravelling the function of
imaginatio creatrix in man's self interpretation-in-existence, this
collection seeks to bring forth the royal role of allegory in the
fostering of culture. A conjoint work of human elemental passions
and of the human spirit, allegory mediates between lofty ideals of
the highest human strivings and the pedestrian realm of facts.
Interpretative or theoretical studies encompass allegory --
mediaeval, modern and post-modern -- in various literatures. Among
the authors are: Tymieniecka, Kronegger, Jorge Garcia Gomez, V.
Osadnik, H. Hellerstein, H. Rudnick, R. Kiefer, V. Fichera, K.
Haney, Ch. Raffini, J. Williamson, B. Ross and Sitansu Ray. "
