In Search Of 'Kynde Knowynge': Piers Plowman And The Origin Of Allegory

How solid are the grounds on which Foucault has based his distinction between early modernity and its past - a time when, he claims, the languages of the world were still perceived to make up "the image of the truth"? This study addresses these and related questions through a heuristic comparison between different approaches to narrative allegory.
