The Oxford Dictionary of Allusions by Andrew Delahunty

The Oxford Dictionary of Allusions by Andrew Delahunty

Allusions form a colourful extension to the English Language, drawing on our collective knowledge of literature, mythology, and the Bible to give us a literary shorthand. This reference work explains the meanings of the allusions in use in modern English, from Abaddon to Zorro, and Rubens to Rambo.
