First published in 1997, Reinventing Allegory asks how and why
allegory has survived as a literary mode from the late Renaissance
to the postmodern present. Three chapters on Romanticism, including
one on the painter J. M. W. Turner, present this era as the pivotal
moment in allegory's modern survival. Other chapters describe
larger historical and philosophical contexts, including classical
rhetoric and Spenser, Milton and seventeenth-century rhetoric,
Neoclassical distrust of allegory, and recent theory and
metafiction. By using a series of key historical moments to define
the special character of modern allegory, this study offers an
important framework for assessing allegory's role in contemporary
literary culture.
