A dictionary of terms used in literary criticism. Provides a general framework rather than detail on specific works or authors. Many entries conclude with a small bibliography for further research. Detailed index, including a listing by profession. Identifies and discusses a wide range of important figures, not only in literature.
Bibliographies cite additional sources.
Each volume in this growing set provides a short biography and some critical comment on each author in an associated group. Bibliographical citations are presented in an essay form which shows the connections among critics' and scholars' views. These essays cover both individual writers and general trends. Entries on women who wrote between 1900-1945. Brief primary and secondary bibliographies with each entry.
