Focusing mainly upon language, communication and textuality, this text argues that the raison d'etre of literature and language itself is being missed. Moving a step further in the investigation of the anthropologico-ontopoietic sources of the life-significance of literature by unravelling the function of imaginatio creatrix in man’s self interpretation-in-existence, this collection seeks to bring forth the role of allegory in the fostering of culture. Interpretative or theoretical studies which encompass allegory, mediaeval, modern and post-modern, in various literatures are considered.
