About this title

Synopsis

Bryant begins with a history of riddles that traces their origins in antiquity, through the golden age of the Renaissance, to their decline into the nursery and the remnants of the art in modern times. The entries are authors or sources within which some 1,500 riddles are presented (answers are listed at the end of the volume). An intriguing literary anthology. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
