GRGR(5): sources on metaphor and allegory

[Mark A. Douglas]

These are some possible sources, can't really vouch for them being what
you're after, I'm afraid:

LODGE, David. The Modes of Modern Writing: Metaphor, Metonymy and the
Typology of Modern Literature. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1977.

QUILLIGAN, Maureen. The Language of Allegory: Defining the Genre.
Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1979.

RICOUER, Paul. The Rule of Metaphor. London: Routledge, 1986.

...to which I'll add, might also want to look at Angus Fletcher's "Allegory: The
Theory of a Symbolic Mode",  published by Cornell in 1964.
