An expanded version of a series of debates between the authors,
this book examines the nature of corporate rights, especially with
respect to religious liberty, in the context of the controversial
Hobby Lobby case from the Supreme Court's 2013-14 term.
There exists an area of overlap where language and nature meet, and
this book, first published in 1980, illuminates that fascinating
territory. When real-world things, such as plants, are used in
literature or language as symbols, these special signs have a
double allegiance. They function as language but derive their
meaning from nature. The authors trace the consequences of this,
and show how it affects the character of the relevant areas of
language and literature. Original and entertaining, this study cuts
across a number of traditional disciplines. It should appeal not
only to those interested in literature, language and semiotics, but
also to students of philosophy, anthropology, classics, pictorial
art, religion and folklore.
