Download or read book Authority Figures written by Christopher Collins and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1996 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals how certain strategic metaphors embedded in the early Western literary canon have promoted--and continue to promote--systems of inequality and social control. Collins examines texts ranging from the Homeric epics and the Platonic dialogues to Virgil's Aeneid and the Book of Revelation. Drawing on the linguistic and documentary evidence of usages in early societies, chiefly Greek and Hebrew, Collins has produced a penetrating examination of social and personal structures in those worlds.
