Paying special attention to Sidney's Arcadia, Spenser's Faerie
Queene, and Shakespeare's romances, this study engages in sustained
examination of chiasmus in early modern English literature. The
author's approach leads to the recovery of hidden designs which are
shown to animate important works of literature; along the way Engel
offers fresh and more comprehensive interpretations of seemingly
shopworn conventions such as memento mori conceits, echo poems, and
the staging of deus ex machina. The study, grounded in the
philosophy of symbolic forms (following Ernst Cassirer), will be a
valuable resource for readers interested in intellectual history
and symbol theory, classical mythology and Renaissance iconography.
Chiastic Designs affords a glimpse into the transformative power of
allegory during the English Renaissance by addressing patterns that
were part and parcel of early modern "mnemonic culture."
