A miser is a Scrooge, a strong man is a Samson, and we can all suffer like Sisyphus. Allusions form a colourful extension to the English language, drawing on literature, current affairs, mythology, and comic strips to give us a literary shorthand for describing people, places, and events. This fascinating book covers thousands of allusions. A browser’s delight.
