520    "The Lily's Tongue offers a nuanced, sustained reading of 
       what Maughan-Brown calls the "Lily Discourses"--Four 
       discourses that Kierkegaard wrote about the instruction in
       the Gospel of Matthew to "consider the lilies." 
       Kierkegaard suggests that the lilies are "authoritative" 
       rather than merely "figural" or "metaphorical." The aim of
       this book is to explore what exactly Kierkegaard means by 
       asking, How do texts speak with authority? In Maughan-
       Brown's reading, Kierkegaard argues that the key to a 
       text's authority is in the act of reading itself. No text 
       can have authority unless the reader grants it that 
       authority. That is because, paradoxically, no text can 
       avoid or escape the use of figural language. If the lilies
       speak authoritatively it is precisely because they are 
       also figural. Texts do not speak directly; their tongue is
       always the lily's tongue. Drawing on the work of Kant, 
       Hegel, Nietzsche, Benjamin, and Derrida, The Lily's Tongue
       situates Kierkegaard's reading of Matthew at the 
       intersection of theological, philosophical, political, and
       literary investigations of figural language. It uniquely 
       contributes to the ongoing discussion of Kierkegaard's 
       theory and practice of "indirect communication" by 
       introducing four pivotal signed discourses into this 
       debate. In so doing, Maughan-Brown reveals a 
       groundbreaking theory of figure--one that ultimately 
       requires a renewed reading of the major pseudonymous 
       works"--|cProvided by publisher
