Cuddon's "Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory" has become firmly established as a classic work of reference. Now in its fourth edition, complete with many new entries and insights, it remains the most comprehensive and accessible work of its kind and constitutes essential reading for students, teachers and general readers alike. * Contains over 2000 articles on all aspects of literary terminology and theory * Gives definitions of technical terms (iamb, hamartia, zeugma) and critical jargon (intertextuality, aporia, binary opposition) * Explores literary movements (neo-classicism, romanticism, vorticism) and schools of literary theory (new historicism, structuralism, feminist criticism) * Covers genres (elegy, fabliau, pastoral) and literary forms (sonnet, haiku, ottava, rima) 'Scholarly, succinct, comprehensive and entertaining, this is an important book, an indispensable work of reference. It draws on literature of many languages and quotes aptly and freshly from our own' - The Times Educational Supplement 'Some entries accomplish cameo wonders of literary history. Others are funny ... generously and urbanely compiled' - The New York Times Read more at http://www.penguin.co.uk/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9780140513639,00.html#yYWLhojZBg... Ok, the book is quite *hefty*, but it does become very handy if you are studying for an English degree. I had a smaller one, but I ended up buying this one because I was losing out on some literary criticism terms. Some entries do takes a certain number of pages, and can be quite confusing, but other ones are fine, and the terms allowed me to understand some particularly complicated terms. This book will be kept on my shelves, because it has become an essential tool for my studies. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Well, almost. Cuddon is also unashamedly personal; this is his work, and he'll damn sure make you aware of that! (At one point, he rather cheekily refers to "those poets who suffered from Imagism"!)
Bravo. ( )
