The Facts On File Dictionary of Classical, Biblical, and Literary Allusions (1987) is broader in scope but has no examples as the present volume does. Focused content and alphabetical entry by allusion are strengths of this dictionary in comparison to Allusions--Cultural, Literary, Biblical, and Historical: A Thematic Dictionary (Gale, 1986). The latter's advantages include wider coverage, higher numbers of allusions, and access by theme. Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Allusions (1999) and The Oxford Dictionary of Allusions (2001) contain more in-depth descriptions and extensive literary quotations illustrating each allusion but have many fewer classical and biblical allusions. The Facts On File Dictionary of Classical and Biblical Allusions is recommended for high-school and public libraries and academic libraries serving undergraduates. RBB
