International Dictionary of Literature and Grammar
Dictionary
of
Symbols and Imagery
In English (with definitions)
Second Revised Edition
This dictionary contains concise explanations of many of the terms encountered in the study of grammar and literature.
The author has reduced a complex aggregate of information to a simple and clear compendium of essential facts, with the intention of helping the reader who may wish to learn or brush up his knowledge of them. The style is easy, clear, and interesting, and the contents eminently practical and informative, which makes this book a very useful tool for anyone who studies literature or languages.
Entries with titles such as Arabic literature, German literature, Japanese literature, are meant to guide the reader to those works of artistic creation which have had the widest influence or have expressed vital ideas of civilization most clearly and convincingly, works that have earned their authors a place of honour in world literature.
Year 1991
This dictionary supplies associations which have been evoked by certain words, signs, etc. in Western civilization in the past, and which may float to the surface again tomorrow; for however 'daringly new' a modern use of imagery may look, it generally appears to have roots in what has been said and done in the past. No fine distinctions have been made between symbols (in the limited sense), allegories, metaphors, signs, types, images, etc. (not to mention 'ascending' and 'descending' symbols), since such subtle distinctions, however sensible from a scientific point of view, are useless to a person struggling with the deeper comprehension (and thus appreciation) of a particular 'symbol'.
