This Dictionary is a guide to the literary terms most relevant to
students and readers of English literature today, thorough on the
essentials and generous in its intellectual scope. With terms as
wide-ranging in theme as 'emphasis', 'ekphrasis', 'ecocriticism'
and 'epithalamion' the definitions are always lively and precise in
equipping students and general readers with a genuinely useful
critical vocabulary. Above all, it directs readers to make full use
of terms, in navigating the confusing world of literary criticism
and discovering the concepts behind terms. It does this with the
help of fresh examples, literary timeline and up-to-date
bibliography (with recommended websites). Extensive
cross-referencing is linked to a thematic index that makes it
simple to find related terms (e.g. technical terms for repetition;
names for six- or seven-line stanzas) and is explicit about the
exact distinctions between such terms as 'metonym' and
'synecdoche', or 'couplet' and 'distich'. In addition to teaching
key terms, the Dictionary identifies the thinking and unresolved
controversies surrounding them, and offers fresh insights and
directions for future reading. It seeks to challenge as well as
complement the reader's own ideas about literature. It is a
Dictionary for the twenty-first century, both in its broad view of
literature in English and its emphasis on readers enjoying poetry,
prose and drama.
