Preface

THESE ARE THE LARKIN-STUART LECTURES, delivered under the auspices of Trinity College in the University of Toronto and St Thomas Church, on 30, 31 January and 1 February 1980. I am greatly obliged to Trinity College and St Thomas Church for their hospitality and for the honour of their invitation to give the lectures.

The lectures draw on earlier material of mine, some of it now out of print, and, as the opening page suggests, they are also connected with an ongoing project of greater length, a study of the narrative and imagery of the Bible and its influence on secular literature. They will doubtless be made use of for the larger book, but form a unit which can be read by itself.
