The Facts on File Dictionary of Allusions provides a comprehensive guide to allusions in the English language.

In approximately 4,000 entries, this new resource explores well-known events, places, people, and phenomena whose names have acquired linguistic significance, conveying a particular message beyond a mere reference to the objects referred to.

The entries are drawn from a wide range of sources, including Shakespeare and the Bible; Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology; texts from literature through the ages; historical events; popular culture; and film and television.

Individual entries contain pronunciation guides, definitions, examples, information on derived forms, and more.

An index, bibliography, and cross-references round out this accessible dictionary.
