Allegory in Renaissance literature : ウィキペディア英語版 | Allegory in Renaissance literature Allegory is used extensively in Renaissance literature. Developing from the use of allegory in the Middle Ages, Renaissance literature exhibits an increased emphasis on courtly love,〔C. S. Lewis, ''The Allegory of Love'', 1936.〕 sometimes abandoning intelligibility for deliberately unintelligible allegories.〔I. Ousby ed, ''The Cambridge Guide to Literature in English'' (1995) p. 16〕 The early modern theory of allegory is discussed in Sir John Harington's Apology for Poetry (included in his translation of Ariosto's Orlando furioso, 1591). ==Continuous/intermittent== Renaissance allegories could be continuous and systematic, or intermittent and occasional.〔Northrop Frye, ''Anatomy of Criticism'' (1971) p. 90-1〕 Perhaps the most famous example of a thorough and continuous allegorical work from the Renaissance is the six books of Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene. In book 4, for example, Agape has three sons, ''Priamond'' (from one), ''Diamond'' (from two), and ''Telamond'' (from ''téleios'', perfect, but emended by Jortin to ''Triamond'' in his 1734 edition). The three sons correspond to the three worlds, born of love. Cambell's battle with the three sons is an allegory of "''man's battle with the three worlds to find his place in the universe, to establish harmony in God's creation, and ultimately to achieve salvation''".〔Thomas P. Roche: ''The Kindly Frame'', 1964, excerpted in Paul. J. Alpers (ed): ''Elizabethan Poetry. Modern Essays in Criticism''. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1967: 418〕 Furthermore, since any triad may be an analogue of another, the three brothers could also be an allegory of the three worlds of man's soul: the vegetative, the sensitive, and the angelic".〔 Spenser's (multi-layered) allegory is similarly worked out through all six books.〔I. Ousby ed, ''The Cambridge Guide to Literature in English'' (1995) p. 318〕 Torquato Tasso also wrote continuous allegory, as opposed to the intermittent allegory of an Ariosto, for example.〔Northrop Frye, ''Anatomy of Criticism'' (1971) p. 90-1〕
