This essential reference tool is ideal for students of literature in any language, offering a comprehensive guide to understanding the complexities of literary terminology. The fourth edition has been expanded to include increased coverage of new terms from modern critical and theoretical movements, such as feminism, schools of American poetry, and Spanish verse forms. The dictionary also features extensive coverage of traditional drama, versification, rhetoric, and literary history, as well as updated advice on recommended further reading and a pronunciation guide to over 200 terms. Completely revised and updated, this edition includes brand-new entries on terms such as distant reading, graphic novels, and misery memoir, as well as new bibliographies and recommended web links available via a companion website.
