Memory as overt allusion trigger in ancient literature

Adams, S. A. (2022) Memory as overt allusion trigger in ancient literature. Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha, 32(2), pp. 110-126. (doi: 10.1177/09518207221137062)

Abstract

This paper begins with a brief definition of allusion. The majority of the paper investigates the ways that memory language was used by ancient authors (Jewish, Greek, and Latin) as a literary technique to signal overt intertextual and intratextual allusions. I argue that this is a recognized, intentional, and cross-cultural phenomenon with varied practices and that scholars need to consider this in future studies of intertextuality.
