A rather concise and comprehensive guide to literary theories of symbolism (and allegory), covering most significant writers and right down to current debates. Good guide for beginners. However, given the book's length, the author's goal may be somewhat too ambitious; the language might have been sometimes too casual, even colloquial.

Dealing with poetry is frequently problematic for the universityteacher and student: although undergraduates are usually responsive to discussionsabout drama and prose, poetry often silences the classroom. Unless a poem providesreferences easily applicable to their own lives, many students feel they can'trelate to the piece and are stymied. In particular, allegorical poetry producestensions among the desire to find the meanings of the poet's symbolism, the fear ofvoicing a "wrong" interpretation, and a natural objection to perceived restrictionson interpretive freedom. Poetry, Symbol, and Allegory eases that dilemmaby providing a historical overview of theories of interpretation as they apply tosymbol and allegory in poetry, thereby reclaiming valuable and useful methods ofanalyzing poems. Beginning with Plato and Aristotle, Simon Brittan moves fromclassical theory to the lesser-known medieval exegetical theories of such notablesas Augustine, Aquinas, and Origen; addresses theory pertaining to Renaissance Italyand Dante, English theory of the Middle Ages, the sixteenth and seventeenthcenturies, and the Romantic period; and concludes by weighing the poetry of T. E.Hulme, T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound on the larger historical scale of literarytheory. By acknowledging interpretive theories of the past, Brittan provides aproper historical frame of reference in which today's student can better understandfigurative language in poetry.
