How do enigmas and riddles work in literature? This benchmark
study investigates the literary trope of the riddle, and its relation to
the broaderterm enigma, including enigma as large masterplot.
Cook argues fora revival of the old figure of speech known as
enigma from Aristotle to the seventeenth century by demonstrating
its usefulness. The opening chapter surveys enigma personified as
sphinx and griffin, resuscitating a lostGraeco-Latin pun on griffin
used by Lewis Carroll. The history and functions of enigma draw on
classical and biblical through to modern writing. Wide-ranging
examples concentrate on literature in English, especially modem
poetry, with three detailed case studies on Dante, Lewis Carroll, and
Wallace Stevens. An important contribution to studies of poetic
thought and metaphor, this anatomy of the riddle will appeal
particularly to readers and scholars of poetry, modem American and
comparative literatures, rhetoric, and folk-riddles. A

How do enigmas and riddles work in literature? This benchmark
study investigates the literary trope of the riddle, and its relation to
the broaderterm "enigma," including enigma as large masterplot.

sphinx and griffin, resuscitating a lostGraeco-Latin pun on "griffin"
