l Allusion： A figure of speech, in which one
refers covertly or indirectly to an object or
circumstance from an external context. It is left to the audience to make the
connection; where the connection is directly and explicitly stated (as opposed
to indirectly implied) by the author, an allusion is instead usually termed a reference.
In the arts, a literary
allusion
puts the alluded text in a new context under which it assumes new meanings and
denotations. It is not possible to predetermine the nature of all
the new meanings and inter-textual patterns that an allusion will generate.
Literary allusion is closely related to parody and pastiche, which are also "text-linking" literary devices.
l when we learn literature：
l What is genre?
Genre
is any category of literature, music, or other forms of art or entertainment, whether written or spoken, audio or visual, based on
some set of stylistic criteria.
Genre
began as an absolute classification system for ancient Greek
literature. Poetry, prose, and performance each had a specific and calculated
style that related to the theme of the story. Genre became a dynamic tool to
help the public make sense out of unpredictable art. The use of genre as a tool
must be able to adapt to changing meanings. In fact as far back as ancient
Greece, new art forms were emerging that called for the evolution of genre, for
example the tragicomedy.
l Epic：long, narrative, related to the Gods or heroes’ adventure

William
Shakespeare, 1564 - 1616
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou
art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough
winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And
summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime
too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And
often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And
every fair from fair sometime declines,
By
chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
But
thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor
lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor
shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When
in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can
see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to
thee.
