Beskrivning
This volume contains a bibliography of some 4,000 works from the European Renaissance and before in the field of literary symbolism, that is of those texts which have an underlying meaning as well as a literal or superficial meaning. The bibliography is divided into about fifty categories (from "Allegories" to "Wands"); there is a descriptive introduction to each category, commentaries on many of the books, a cross-category author’s index, and a list of suggestions for further reading.
