Description: Revealing the immense richness of the allegorical tradition, this book demonstrates how allegory works in literature and art, as well as everyday speech, sales pitches, and religious and political appeals. It shows how allegor expresses fundamental emotional and cognitive drives, and relates it to a wide variety of aesthetic devices. -- publisher's statement.
