Allegory and Enchantment - Crawford, Jason (Union University, Tennessee)

Jason Crawford explores the emergence of modernity by investigating the early modern poetics of allegorical narrative. He focuses on four major allegorical narratives produced in the period: William Langland's Piers Plowman, John Skelton's The Bowge of Courte, Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene, and John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress.
