About this book

Allusions form a colourful extension to the English language, drawing on a collective knowledge of literature, mythology, and the Bible to give us a literary shorthand for describing people, places and events. This A-Z reference explains the meanings of allusions in modern English, from Adonis to Zorro, Tartarus to Tarzan, Rubens to Rambo.
