Originally published in 1971. In Mysteriously Meant, Professor
Allen maps the intellectual landscape of the Renaissance as he
explains the discovery of an allegorical interpretation of Greek,
Latin, and finally Egyptian myths and the effect this discovery had
on the development of modern attitudes toward myth. He believes
that to understand Renaissance literature one must understand the
interpretations of classical myth known to the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. In unraveling the elusive strands of myth,
allegory, and symbol from the fabric of Renaissance literature such
as Milton's Paradise Lost, Allen is a helpful guide. His discussion
of Renaissance authors is as authoritative as it is inclusive. His
empathy with the scholars of the Renaissance keeps his discussion
lively-a witty study of interpreters of mythography from the past.
