{"product_id":"allegory-studies","title":"Allegory Studies","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAllegory Studies: Contemporary Perspectives\u003c\/em\u003e collects some of the most compelling current work in allegory studies, by an international team of researchers in a range of disciplines and specializations in the humanities and cognitive sciences. The volume tracks the subject across disciplinary, cultural, and period-based divides, from its shadowy origins to its uncertain\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003efuture, and from the rich variety of its cultural and artistic manifestations to its deep cognitive roots. Allegory is everything we already know it to be: a mode of literary and artistic composition, and a religious as well as secular interpretive practice. As this volume attests, however, it is much more than that—much more than a sum of its parts. Collectively, the phenomena we now subsume under this term comprise a dynamic cultural force which has left a deep imprint on our history, whose full impact we are only beginning to comprehend, and which therefore demands precisely such dedicated cross-disciplinary examination as this book seeks to provide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45589185036526,"sku":"9780367521943","price":244.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/allegory-studies","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
