- PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION
Description
This study explains how the myths of Greece and Rome were transmitted from antiquity to the Renaissance.

Poetry, Symbol, And Allegory : Interpreting Metaphorical Language From Plato To The Present

Attribution
Simon Brittan
Publication Details
Book, University of Virginia Press, 2003
Description
Dealing with poetry is frequently problematic for the university teacher and student: although undergraduates are usually responsive to discussions about drama and prose, poetry often silences the classroom. Poetry, Symbol, and Allegory eases that dilemma by providing a historical overview of theories of interpretation as they apply to symbol and allegory in poetry, thereby reclaiming valuable and useful methods of analyzing poems.

The Historian’s Wizard Of Oz : Reading L. Frank Baum’s Classic As A Political And Monetary Allegory

Attribution
edited by Ranjit S. Dighe
Publication Details
Book, Praeger, 2002
Description
The heart of the book is an annotated version of The Wizard of Oz that highlights the possible political and monetary symbolism in the book by relating characters, settings, and incidents in it to the historical events and figures of the 1890s, the decade in which Baum wrote his story. Despite an incongruence with Baum’s intent, reading the story as a parable continues to provide a remarkable window into the historical events of the 1890s and, thus, constitutes a tremendous teaching tool for historians, economists, and political scientists.
