5.0 out of 5 stars Reach the center of t he idea, May 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Idea of the Labyrinth: From Classical Antiquity Through the Middle Ages (Paperback)
The author guides the steps of the reader-wanderer trough the inextricability of a western cultures central idea. The book is focused in textual labyrinths and philosophical mazes. Original and audacious application of the idea of the labyrinth to medieval literary theory enligthens the paths that leads from Virgil, Chaucer, Dante or Boethius through our very times -if the reader takes Reed Doob's Thread of Ariadne and continues her pioneer Daedalian adventure.
