THE COMPLETE WHO, WHAT, WHEN, AND WHERE FOR THE WELL-INFORMED READER
How many times have you come across a reference in your reading that may ring a bell, but that you can't quite place? 

Newspapers, magazine articles, contemporary fiction, and nonfiction are all full of allusions that often elude us. 

Here is a comprehensive listing that will help you track down the source, original meaning, and relevance of more than 1,300 allusions drawn from Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology, medieval and Arthurian legend, the Bible, history, literature, and contemporary culture.

Completely cross-referenced and designed for quick and easy reading, here is a rich and essential store of information for home, school, and office. From Pandora's Box to the Plagues of Egypt, from Hamlet to Huck Finn, THE DICTIONARY OF CLASSICAL, BIBLICAL, & LITERARY ALLUSIONS puts a library of lore and language at your fingertips.
