This study explores the relationship between the emblem proper and the literature of England and Germany during the period.The book proceeds from a definition of the emblem, based on a critical theory which has received little attention among English and Romance scholars, to a detailed analysis of the form and function of emblematic imagery in a variety of literary forms. The chapters following move into specific discussions of the structural affinities between emblems and poetry, drama, and fiction.The emblem-books are important as a cross-reference for the meaning of motifs in literature. They indicate what educated men knew about nature, history, and mythology and, furthermore, how they interpreted this knowledge. It is not only as a mode of thought but also as an art form that the emblem offers a valuable perspective on the purely verbal art of literature. Emblematic structure and imagery function as a formal, shaping principle in literature in all its genres and forms. Imaginatively conceived, carefully researched, and clearly presented, this book makes connections which will enrich the field of comparative studies. 606 $aEmblems$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aEmblems$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aGerman literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEmblems$xHistory 615 0$aEmblems$xHistory 615 0$aGerman literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.915 700 $aDaly$b Peter M$g(Peter Maurice),$0923121 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455517703321 996 $aLiterature in the light of the emblem$92489187 997 $aUNINA
