Description
A valuable adjunct reference tool for teachers and students of English, this revised and enlarged glossary defines and discusses nearly 800 concepts and terms used in literature and literary criticism, rhetorical theory, and composition. The authors explain many key concepts in considerable detail, placing terms in historical context, offering examples and cross-references, and suggesting up-to-date sources for further reading. The volume includes an index of authors cited as references in the definitions. (HTH)
