Through three editions over more than four decades, "The
Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics" has built an
unrivaled reputation as the most comprehensive and authoritative
reference for students, scholars, and poets on all aspects of its
subject: history, movements, genres, prosody, rhetorical devices,
critical terms, and more. Now this landmark work has been
thoroughly revised and updated for the twenty-first century.
Compiled by an entirely new team of editors, the fourth
edition--the first new edition in almost twenty years--reflects
recent changes in literary and cultural studies, providing
up-to-date coverage and giving greater attention to the
international aspects of poetry, all while preserving the best of
the previous volumes
At well over a million words and more than 1,000 entries, the
"Encyclopedia" has unparalleled breadth and depth. Entries range in
length from brief paragraphs to major essays of 15,000 words,
offering a more thorough treatment--including expert synthesis and
indispensable bibliographies--than conventional handbooks or
dictionaries.
