David Collin, Co-Program Chair, introduces our speaker Phillip Lewis.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Phillip Lewis explained allusion and provided example from his book the Barrowfields and other works.
Allusion: [relevant approx. etymology—Latin alludere, from ad + ludere to play.]
- A play on words; a pun.
- A metaphor, a parable, an allegory.
- A covert, passing, or indirect reference (to); any reference to.
In its simplest terms, an allusion is a reference to something else. It is often done to import the meaning or significance of the thing referred to into the writer’s own work. The reference might be to a novel or poem, an essay, a piece of music, a song, a painting, a historical event, a person, a place, an idea, or anything else that might lend some meaning or context to what is being written.
