"There is but little to say in placing this book before its readers. The author has started from the premises that there is an infinite God, who can by infinite means reveal Himself to His children, and that He has done so; that we are all His children, and that we have always been; that Greek and Roman, Jew and Gentile, are His children, and that He tells unto them all the wonderful story of the birth and growth of their souls, and to each child in his own sweet mother-tongue, and by symbols intelligible to him and conveying to him, either consciously or subconsciously, the same manner of instruction. A few of the symbols known to the race have been gathered together here, and an effort has been made to show their intrinsic coherence -- with what success the reader will judge. And if the author has failed to impress upon the reader the value of this symbol or of that, it will be a source of regret to him for his lack of ability to express what was in his mind; but if he has failed to impress upon the mind of his reader the fundamental thought of the unity of the race and of the Fatherhood of God, then will he have failed in the actual purpose of the book -- failed in showing that God talks to all His children and tells them all the same sweet story of His fatherhood to them, and of their childhood to Him -- unto each as he can comprehend, and unto each in the tender accents of his own native mother-tongue. May the little book be a help to those who are studying the Works and the Word of God, and may the Wonder Book indeed be a "Lamp unto their feet and a Light unto their path"--Foreword.

Special Focus: Law and Literature This special focus issue of Symbolism takes a look at the theoretical equation of law and literature and its inherent symbolic dimension. The authors all approach the subject from the perspective of literary and book studies, foregrounding literature’s potential to act as supplementary to a very wide variety of laws spread over historical, geographical, cultural and spatial grounds. The theoretical ground laid here thus posits both literature and law in the narrow sense. The articles gathered in this special issue analyse Anglophone literatures from the Renaissance to the present day and cover the three major genres, narrative, drama and poetry. The contributions address questions of the law’s psychoanalytic subconscious, copyright and censorship, literary negotiations of colonial and post-colonial territorial laws, the European ‘refugee debate’ and migration narratives, fictional debates on climate change, contemporary feminist drama and classic 19th-century legal narratives. This volume includes two insightful analyses of poetic texts with a special focus on the fact that poetry has often been neglected within the field of law and literature research. Special Focus editor: Franziska Quabeck, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Germany.
