Notes
1 My sincerest gratitude to the late Elizabeth A. Clark for making this essay possible. She kindly gave me her personal copies of several of the texts under discussion. They are now some of my favorite volumes, not least since they bear Liz’s marginalia. May her memory be eternal.

11 Jameson isn’t the only reader to notice the allegorical resonance of Hegel’s method. Witness Hart, The Trespass of the Sign, 59 “If the dialectic uses the letter to give rise to the spirit, and if the Spirit is the meaning of history, as Hegel holds, then the Hegelian philosophy is an allegory of history.”
