Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Can anyone recommend a good resource that explains literary devices (with examples), i.e. allegory, allusion, irony, foreshadowing, paradox, etc.

Thanks so much!

This website looks interesting...granted, I just looked at Allegory, but there's lots of hyperlinks for definitions and examples.

Thanks Lori! Actually I had seen this, but I really was hoping for a book.
