Birth of the Symbol: Ancient Readers at the Limits of Their Texts

Explores the ancient Greek literary critics and theorists who invented the idea of the poetic 'symbol'. This book notes that Aristotle and his followers did not discuss the use of poetic symbolism. It revisits the work of the great allegorists. It demonstrates how important symbolism became when they thought about religion and philosophy.
