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.
