| | Allusions |
 | | Allusions are far from being the sole preserve of literature. | | | The poet may intend the reader only to recognise the allusion later, or for only a part of the readership to pick up the allusion - examples are dramatic irony, in-jokes, pantomime asides and innuendo. | | | "The Poetics of Literary Allusion", PTL: A Journal for descriptive poetics and theory of literature 1, Ben-Porot, 1976. |

| | Critical Concepts: Allusion |
| | Writer's can use allusion to invite readers to import a rich body of already-established connotation into the context of some scene they are presenting to our imagination. | | | Even a writer like Ernest Hemingway, who would surely qualify as an unbeliever in religion, was fond of allusions to the Bible. | | | The parallel works both ways: to emphasize the diminishment of modern life in comparison with the epic world at the "beginnings" of (Western) European civilization, and to suggest the hidden possibilities of heroism that are often obscured by the drab appearances of contemporary existence. |

| | Writers are Copyists, Plagiarists |
| | Allusion is pointing to a passage in a text by using words from it that are not in quotation marks, but that everyone will recognize, a device used to establish oneself as "in the know" about high literature. | | | Roger Lonsdale describes a key moment during the eighteenth century in Britain when highly imitative writers began to be accused of plagiarism, that is when notions of copyright ownership had begun to tighten enough to make allusion and imitation over into the crime of plagiarism. | | | Early eighteenth-century writers had an alternative name for "plagiarism": "imitation." Did Alexander Pope plagiarize Virgil's Aeneid in The Dunciad, or was he simply imitating it? |

| | LRB Laura Quinney : Poisonous Frogs |
| | Since Ricks's definition of allusion excludes borderline cases in which it is not clear that the author is deliberately alluding, he has restricted his study to passages of relatively crisp resonance, such as the inversions of Milton in the mock-heroic poems of Dryden and Pope. | | | In fact, this form of imitation is not allusion in Ricks's sense; it is influence, in Bloom's. | | | The chapters in 'The Poet as Heir' give new refinement to the study of allusion by showing that each poet fashions his own allusive manner, and chooses a subject-matter: Dryden and Pope use allusion when writing about inheritance and succession; Burns, about coupling and love-children; Byron, about money; Tennyson, about winds, ghosts and solitude. |

| | However, Christian symbolism and allusion is not to imply optimism during the course of Godot either, but rather "serve his [Beckett's] dramatic intentions" (Cousineau 25). | | | As with all great literature, there rarely exists anything extraneous in the text, for something that is unneeded, detracts from the work and distracts the reader unnecessarily, thus causing the work to be less effective than it would otherwise be. | | | It is arguable that the tree, under the guise of Christian interpretations, is to infer a sense of hope, however fleeting. |

| | This is the use of allusion, the employment of the "leap" to annex one poetic experience to another. | | | It is visible in the works of poets who read their work aloud, and poets who publish their words in the hard-inked pages of a book. | | | As I consider various poetic allusions suggested by the cuneiform text, I have allowed myself to read Enheduanna’s line in this sort of "de-or re-centered form," opening the interpretation of her work to "multiple, associative, nonhierarchical logics..." suggested by the multi-valent quality of the Sumerian pictographs. |

| | Farrell (11) recounts the argument of Pasquali that allusions (as distinct from reminiscences and imitations) "do not produce the desired effect except upon a reader who clearly recalls the texts to which they refer". | | | And, being old-fashioned enough to think that the poet's intention is more than casually related to the meaning of a poem (a position the allusionists would not argue with), I conclude that the original context of Catullus' poem has nothing to do with the meaning of this line in Vergil. | | | It is with the hope of fostering more debate on this area that I offer further scepticism in the form of a more radical reflection on the way in which we should react to echoes of earlier literature in Latin poetry. |

| | This study is but a small part of a much larger project which argues that Ovid incorporates every line of Aeneid IV in his presentation of the tale of Procne and Tereus, a superficially similar tale of a marriage betrayed. | | | For example, the images that accompany Ovid’s description of Procne and Tereus’ marriage (the same images that appear to suicidal Dido after she rejects her god-sent marriage betrayed by Aeneas in IV.472) exemplify how the consequences of Aeneas’ betrayal evoke the inevitability of Tereus’. | | | Even in this short sample passage, Ovid’s lines recall not only Virgil’s exact words, but their poetic arrangement in identical metrical cola as well. |
