		Both Lewis' view of allegory (with its distinction between allegory and sacramental symbolism noted) and the modern conception of symbolism (which, because of its emphasis on symbolic words, disavows allegory as a literary concept) have been "irresponsibly applied" and hurt overall interpretations of The Faerie Queene.
		Von Hendy uses Lewis' words in The Allegory of Love as the mouthpiece for all previous, general, critical views held on Kingis Quair, so that he might respond to and correct them with an interpretation that is not autobiographical.
		Lewis' distinction between allegory and symbolism is weakened by calling attention to Greek philosophical writers as well as the way in which Lewis, himself, slips in his owndefinitions in an attempt to pull a text entirely into one category where it obviously contains elements of both.

	Medievalism & Allegory
		Modern allegory, then, is to be located towards the latter two stages, that is, as free- style (freistimmige) allegory in which the relation between concretion and abstraction is unsystematic; consequently, its allegorical interpretation is equally intermittent.
		It is clear that this liberal, modern view of allegory is at variance with the Romantic views, eloquently expressed by Goethe and Coleridge, which privileged the symbol at the expense of allegory.
		In short, I suggest that allegory belongs to the realm of polysemy or multiple meaning; it is a theme-dominated, symbolic, non-mimetic mode of thought and expression, controlled by indirectness and double meaning, that strongly invites the reader to look for further significance beyond the literal level of the text.

	The Craving for Meaning: Explicit Allegory in the Non-implicit Age (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In stark contrast to the announced demise of meaning and allegory, fantasy literature is holding fast to both if in a far more explicit way than ever before.
		In explicit allegory, not only is the physical world and body left behind for imaginary ones (Cox 73), but dysfunctional, incoherent, and pluralistic epistemologies also are left behind and a coherent one is accepted, in which meaning and truth do exist.
		Allegory and fantasy are play -- rule-governed departures from the everyday that, thankfully, allow free and vital use of the imagination and that help "determine what we consider to be fact just as surely as the other way around" (Cox 79).

		Allegory of Love Review: This is the book which made C.S. Lewis' reputation as a critic of medieval and renaissance literature.
		As originally written, "The Allegory of Love" covered the development of allegorical narrative from late classical times to Spenser's "Faerie Queene," with particular attention to the "Allegorical Love Poems of the Middle Ages" (the working title).
		It is probably of interest to note that, according to Lewis himself, the "Chronicles of Narnia" did not arise from his studies of allegory, and that their allegorical implications arose spontaneously in his mind.

		Thus, in the Italian tradition, this card is a simple allegory, one of the most familiar and easily interpreted throughout western culture.
		So in working with the old decks, one should be conscious of the fact that there are two different traditions reflected in the card: the Italian tradition, which gives an uncomplicated allegory of "Love", and the Marseille tradition, which presents some permutation on the theme of "choice" or "temptation".
		Despite the difference, there is also a common thread uniting these two ideas: that love or lust is a powerful force, overpowering and indifferent to the dictates of human authority.
