The Apocalyse in Marlowe, Shakespeare, Dostoevsky: Time, Plot, Allegories
Abstract
The essay examines Revelation both as a literary text and as a narrative device. In this intellectual framework, The Author discusses three main issues: the ways in which Time is perceived and represented within the text; the circulation of the apocalyptic imaginery as a literary paradigm used to interpret History; the characterization of Revelation's language as unveiling and utopian at the same time. On this ground the essay studies Revelation's reception within literary domain, and in particular in Elizabethan theatre and in Dostoevskij's novels.Downloads
