Boys-Stones Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description 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 essays by a team of academics. Publisher Description According to the theoretical accounts which survive in the rhetorical handbooks of antiquity, allegory is extended metaphor, or an extended series of metaphors. This volume provides a critical discussion of ancient definitions of allegory and metaphor as merely ornamental tropes. They examine metaphor and allegory from a variety of perspectives and compare theory with ancient literary practice. Author Biography G. R.
