About This Book
This exemplary Dictionary provides a critical tool-kit for all students inquiring into the complexities of literary theory, terms and their usage. It introduces readers to various schools of theory and criticism, the nuances of rhetoric and prosody, clarifying the (often abstruse) language of literary discourse. [NP] A rich range of examples from literary texts – and occasionally from related genres such as music and film – illustrate all definitions and arguments. The publication dates of the works mentioned here present an excellent overview of the historical evolution of genres and schools of thought. The entries attempt to place literary trends against their broader socio-cultural and philosophical backgrounds. [NP] The ‘Key Points’ appended to the longer entries are a unique feature of the book. An effective aid to memory, they summarize the principal ideas that ought to be kept in mind when approaching involved literary concepts.
