Metaphor - Terence (Emeritus Professor of English Hawkes - Bog

First published in 1972, this work examines the complex concept of metaphor. From this analysis emerge two opposed yet complementary ideas: the classical view of metaphor, which sees metaphor as a detachable device imported into language, and the romantic view, which sees metaphor as inseparable from language. This book will be of interest to those studying English literature and language.
