Allegorical Readers and Cultural Revision in Ancient Alexandria Tapa dura - 1991
de David Dawson
Descripción de contraportada
"This approach to allegory, which discriminates among past disputes and present positions, will confirm . . . that the varying sociocultural functions of allegory . . . needed the fuller exposition Dawson has given them."--Frank Kermode
"During the last few years scholars have, really for the first time, begun to take allegorical interpretation seriously as a subject of study. Dawson's book is the best so far. He is careful to situate allegory historically as a cultural practice. Allegory is not a technique of willful misreading or subjective play. It is the way ancient Alexandria, made up as it was of multiple conflicting traditions and incompatible forms of life, made sense of itself. Dawson's close study of how ancient writers actually worked--how they studied and thought--is a model of historical and critical research. Classicists, literary and cultural critics, biblical scholars and theologians of every tradition will have much to learn from this superb and beautifully written book."--Gerald L. Bruns, University of Notre Dame
