{"product_id":"language-of-allegory-1","title":"Language of Allegory","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis lively and innovative work treats a body of literature not previously regarded as a unified genre. Offering comparative readings of a number of texts that are traditionally called allegories and that cover a wide time span, Maureen Quilligan formulates a vocabulary for talking about the distinctive generic elements they share. The texts she considers range from the twelfth-century\u003ci\u003e De planctu naturae\u003c\/i\u003e to Pynchon's \u003ci\u003eGravity's Rainbow\u003c\/i\u003e, and include such works as\u003ci\u003e Le Roman de la Rose\u003c\/i\u003e, Langland's \u003ci\u003ePiers Plowman\u003c\/i\u003e, Hawthorne's \u003ci\u003eScarlet Letter\u003c\/i\u003e, Melville's \u003ci\u003eConfidence Man\u003c\/i\u003e, and Spenser's \u003ci\u003eFaerie Queene\u003c\/i\u003e. Whether or not readers agree with this book, they will enjoy and profit from it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54232048075096,"sku":"9780801480515","price":40.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780801480515.jpg?v=1778904020","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/language-of-allegory-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
