A Dictionary of Modern Critical Terms: Revised and Enlarged Edition (Routledge Library Editions: Literary Theory) - 9781138683891

This book, first published in 1987, differs from many other 'dictionaries of criticism' in concentrating less on time-honoured rhetorical terms and more on conceptually flexible, powerful terms. Each entry consists of not simply a dictionary definition but an essay exploring the history and full significance of the term, and its possibilities in critical discourse. This title is an ideal basic reference text for literature students of all levels.
