Book Details
"How closely do the theoretical notions of ""metaphor"" and ""allegory"" developed by ancient rhetoricians reflect the practice of Classical writers? This question is tackled through eleven new papers by a team of distinguished academics. Ancient theories of metaphor are compared with twentieth-century alternatives; theory is tested against practice; and allegorya distinctive though neglected feature of ancient literature and philosophyis explored against the background of the rhetoricians' claim that it is one form of metaphor."
