Is there a good reference book on allegories used in literature? I am looking for a reference book that gives references to use of allegories in the creative literature. For example: If a novel uses the allegory of "Adam and Eve", I would like an entry with the name of the book and how the allegory is conveyed, which objects represent which object from the allegory and so on. Is there such a book? I have been trying to find such a book with no luck.
