This "Encyclopedia" is the most comprehensive guide yet to both the
nature and content of literature and to literary criticism. In
ninety essays by leading international critics and scholars such as
Catherine Belsey, Terrence Hawker, Catherine Hayles, Cora Kaplan,
Christopher Norris and Don E. Wayne, the volume covers traditional
topics such as literature and history, poetry, drama and the novel,
and newer topics, including the production and reception of
literature. Current critical ideas are clearly and provocatively
discussed, while the volume's arrangement reflects in a dynamic way
the rich diversity of contemporary thinking about literature.
The "Encyclopedia" includes important sections on criticism, the
contexts of English literature and "other literatures" in English.
Individual essays cover subjects as diverse as feminist theatre,
postmodernism, medieval literature, romantic poetry, Marxist
criticism, censorship, realism and the novel, contemporary American
poetry, New Historicism, the origins of the modern stage, the
renaissance, women and the poetic tradition, the printed book, and
Shakespeare and eighteenth-century fiction. Each essay seeks to
provide the reader with a clear sense of the full significance of
its subject as well as guidance for further reading.
An essential work of reference, the "Encyclopedia of Literature
and Criticism" is a stimulating guide to the central preoccupations
of contemporary critical thinking about literature.
