Prickett charts the schism, opened at the end of the oighteenth
century, between biblical hermeneutics and literary criticism. This
split has profound implications for both contemporary biblical
translation and literary theory. The author investigates the
critical commonplace that religious language is essentially poetic,
and traces the development of that view in the writings of Dennis
and Vico, Herder and Eichhorn, Ccoleridge and Arnold, Wordsworth
and Hopkins, and Austin Farrer and Paul Ricouer. This concept
continues to provide a terminology for discussing narrative that
can no longer be interpreted literally or allegorically, but has
also led some critics to devise inadequate translation theories and
conceptions of metaphor.
