Literary allusions to Shakespeare.

What are some allusions in modern times pertaining to Shakespeare?

• Answer:

  Examples too numerous to list here. For a list of titles of books, films, TV shows, songs and record albums taken from Shakespeare, see the attached link. But that is only titles. Shakespeare's phrases are used constantly either in their original or an adulterated form by English-speakers world-wide, more often than not without even knowing that they are from Shakespeare. Some of these adulterated quotations are "all that glitters is not gold" (Merchant of Venice), "there's method in his madness" (Hamlet), "gilding the lily" (King John), "it's Greek to me" (Julius Caesar), "alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well" (Hamlet), and "discretion is the better part of valour" (Henry IV Part I).
