Reader's note

A 1947 Faber edition of The Dark Tower by Louis Macneice. The Dark Tower is a parable play, belonging to that wide class of writings which includes Everyman, The Faerie Queene and The Pilgrim's Progress. Though under the name of allegory this kind of writing is sometimes dismissed as outmoded, the clothed as distinct from the naked allegory is in fact very much alive. Obvious examples are Peer Gynt and the stories of Kafka but also in such books as The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, where the disguise of 'realism' is maintained and nothing happens that is quite inconceivable in life, it is still the symbolic core which makes the work important.
