Product Description

The best-selling Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms (formerly the Concise dictionary) provides clear, concise, and often witty definitions of the most troublesome literary terms from abjection to zeugma. It is an essential reference tool for students of literature in any language. It is now available in a new and expanded edition and includes increased coverage of new terms from modern critical and theoretical movements, such as feminism, and schools of American poetry, Spanish verse forms, life writing, and crime fiction. It includes extensive coverage of traditional drama, versification, rhetoric, and literary history, as well as updated and extended advice on recommended further reading and a pronunciation guide to more than 200 terms. New to this edition are recommended entry-level web links updated via the Dictionary of Literary Terms companion website.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dictionary of Literary Terms, 10 Nov 2009

By	Rachel Robson "Rae-Chelle" (Ashington, England) - See all my reviews

This book has practically every literary word in it you could possibly ever want. However I do remember looking for a quite simple word just to get a written definition of it for class, and it wasn't there. Perhaps the simpler words aren't included, or maybe it was just a one off.
The book itself arrived on time and is simple to use.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pleasing but slight let down., 14 Aug 2009

By	Miss A Clough - See all my reviews

I was pleased that the items arrived quickly. However, they had put my 2 items in one package and charged me twice for delivery. Also, the books did not arrive in pristine condition. The front cover was ripped on one book. I feel that this is due to the post man though and not the book company.
