Prosopopoeia
\Pros`o*po*p[oe]"ia\, n. [L., fr. Gr. ?; pro`swpon
a face, a person + ? to make.] (Rhet.)
A figure by which things are represented as persons, or by
which things inanimate are spoken of as animated beings;
also, a figure by which an absent person is introduced as
speaking, or a deceased person is represented as alive and
present. It includes personification, but is more extensive
in its signification.
