In clear, non-technical language, this dictionary of more than
1,000 literary terms and themes takes an expanded view of the term
""literary."" This book gives readers not only a traditional
literary vocabulary, but also the knowledge of related theoretical,
historical, and cultural terms they need in the interdisciplinary
world of contemporary literary studies. New entries include:
traditional literary terms and themes, such as individualism,
skepticism, and the Odysseus/Ulysses theme; literary topics that
have become increasingly popular in recent years, such as terrorism
and prison literature; and subjects perennially popular among
writers, such as alcoholism, baseball, and vampirism. Features
include: fresh definitions and examples of standard literary and
related terms such as meter, antagonist, and New Criticism; essays
on major themes in literature such as evil, power, love, death,
time, and more; terms related to multicultural and feminist
literature; major contemporary theoretical terms, with clear
definitions and examples; culture terms from film, television,
psychology, history, and other fields related to literature;
references for further reading; and extensive cross-references.
