He believes that to understand Renaissance literature one must understand the interpretations of classical myth known to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In unraveling the elusive strands of myth, allegory, and symbol from the fabric of Renaissance literature such as Milton's Paradise Lost, Allen is a helpful guide. His discussion of Renaissance authors is as authoritative as it is inclusive. His empathy with the scholars of the Renaissance keeps his discussion lively?a witty study of interpreters of mythography from the past. 606 $aAllegory 606 $aMyth in literature 606 $aRenaissance 606 $aClassical philology$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAllegory. 615 0$aMyth in literature. 615 0$aRenaissance. 615 0$aClassical philology$xHistory. 676 $a809/.933/7 700 $aAllen$b Don Cameron$f1903-1972.$0212016 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524699303321 996 $aMysteriously meant$9521712 997 $aUNINA
