| Research Abstract |
The research clarified the relationship between early modern British literature and emblems. It concluded that the fertility of literature in Shakespeare's plays and seventeenth century English poetry originated not only from the exquisite textures of sacred Christian iconographies, mottos and epigrams, but also secular pagan ones. It also studied the impact of the emblems of culturally developed countries in those days such as Germany, France, and the Netherlands on English emblems. Finally it investigated the iconographical relationships between the iconographies and the epigrams had been transformed into those between illustrations and stories in the eighteenth and the nineteenth century.
