Challenging conventional notions that literary allegorism declined around 1600, this book, first published in 2000, reassesses the Renaissance relations between allegory and heroic poetry. It concentrates particularly on the major texts of Sidney, Spenser and Milton. Borris offers a fresh approach to the interaction of allegory with literary genres.
