| Summary: | The first edition of this authoritative single volume dictionary was hailed as 'a superlative work of reference that will also be read for pleasure'. In this new edition, many of the two thousand terms originally defined have completely revised entries, and there are several hundred entirely new entries.
The coverage of the dictionary has been expanded to encompass literary theory and the critical movements which have developed since the book was first published in 1976. Now, in addition to its informative entries on the language of literature and literary criticism, from barcarole to courtesy book to sprung rhythm and vorticism, the dictionary contains articles on theoretical topics from aporia to Yale School. Among these are Freudian and psychoanalytic criticism, formalism, grammatology, hermeneutics, post-modernism and structuralism. -- Book Jacket. |
