Bringing allegory into the light from the neglect into which it
fell means focusing on the wondrous heights of the human spirit in
its significance for culture. Contemporary philosophies and
literary theories, which give pre-eminence to primary linguistics
forms (symbol and metaphor), seem to favor 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, virtue, transcending aspiration. The present,
rich collection shows how allegory, incorporating the soaring of
the spirit, offers highlights for culture, with its fluctuations
and transformation. This collective effort, rich in ideas and
intuitions and covering a vast range of cultural manifestations, is
a pioneering work, retrieving 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. For specialists, students and workers
in philosophy, comparative literature, aesthetic phenomenologists
and historians of art.
