This is the first dictionary of symbols to be based on literature, rather than‘‘universal” psychological archetypes or myths. It explains and illustrates theliterary symbols that we all frequently encounter (such as swan, rose, moongold), and gives hundreds of cross-references and quotations. The dictionaryconcentrates on English literature, but its entries range widely from the Bibleand classical authors to the twentieth century, taking in American andEuropean literatures. For this new edition, Michael Ferber has included overtwenty completely new entries (including bear, holly, sunflower, and tower),and has added to many of the existing entries. Enlarged and enriched fromthe first edition, its informed style and rich references make this book anessential tool not only for literary and classical scholars, but for all studentsof literature.
