Abstracts

EN

The article is an attempt to demonstrate innovativeness and usefulness of the theory of allegory proposed by Dorothy L. Sayers, the author of The Writing and Reading of Allegory. Sayers identifies allegory as a literary genre, presents it as a ‘being’ mentally close to psychomachia, and tries to use the idea of “soul-battle” in the field of analytic psychology. Her conception seems to be fertile when interpreting Lost Homeland by Slobodan Novak.
