Amazon.com description: Product Description: Madsen (American studies, U. of Leicester) surveys the history of American allegorical writing from the Puritans through the period of American Romanticism to Postmodernism, and finds that allegory has a double function, with the ability to represent more than one set of cultural myths. She examines captivity narratives, Nathaniel Hawthorne's Rappaccini's Daughter , and John Barth's Giles Goat-Boy . For students of American literature.
