Excerpt from The Assembly of Gods: Or the Accord of Reason and Sensuality in the Fear of Death

The literary discussion of the Introduction maintains the gen eral interest that any work of literature is wont to arouse. This portion represents the reaction which the poem made upon my mind with its own knowledge of mediaeval life and art. While this part is necessarily somewhat pedantic I have tried to maintain my natural interest in literature as an exponent of life, as the expression of the imagination. The study of Allegory is a selection and con densation of materials that I have gathered for an extended history of Allegory.
