In \u003cem\u003eMysteriously Meant\u003c\/em\u003e, Professor Allen maps the intellectual landscape of the Renaissance as he explains the discovery of an allegorical interpretation of Greek, Latin, and finally Egyptian myths and the effect this discovery had on the development of modern attitudes toward myth. 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 \u003cem\u003eParadise Lost\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Cameron Allen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1421435276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781421435275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.77d","brand":"Don Cameron Allen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44129786659071,"sku":"9781421435275","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a9de31f6-1da4-468c-b280-4386a6a2fb6d.jpg?v=1687465797","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mysteriously-meant-don-cameron-allen-9781421435275","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
