The entries, although much briefer than those in [b:HarperCollins Reader's Encyclopedia of American Literature|638599|The HarperCollins Reader's Encyclopedia Of American Literature, 2nd Edition|George Perkins|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1176592519s/638599.jpg|624826], seem reliable and of course, its focus on world literature rather than works only in English or from the Western Hemisphere is extremely useful. I'll hold on to this relic until I find a better equivalent. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
