Allusion
🔹 Allusion is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. It does not describe in detail the person or thing to which it refers. It is just a passing comment and the writer expects the reader to possess enough knowledge to spot the allusion and grasp its importance in a text.
🔹 Allusions that refers to events more or less contemporary with the text are called topic all allusions those referring to specific people are called personal allusions
🔹 eg. “This place is like a Garden of Eden.” – This is a biblical allusion to the “garden of God” in the Book of Genesis.
🔹eg. Sir Philip Sydney's Astrophrlel and Stella contains punning allusions to Lord Robert Rich who had married the Stella of the sonnets.
