DICTIONARY OF LITERARY TERMS & LITERARY THEORY
Dictionary Of Literary Terms And Literary Theory is the complete reference book for literary works that have been used for over the previous two decades. This is the fourth edition and has been suitably updated both in terms of data and forethought. This edition has a compilation of more than 2000 write-ups, which cover all the relevant information pertaining to the literary works. It covers the technical aspects of the literary field, such as iamb, hamartia, and zeugma. Further, the technical terms such as intertextuality, aporia, and binary opposition are also explained by the author. In addition, the reader can learn about the different literary eras, such as neo-classicism, romanticism and vorticism. The different arenas of the literary works such as new historicism, structuralism, and feminist criticism are also detailed in this volume. Elegy, fabliau, and pastoral—the different styles of writing that are in practice—are mentioned along with different forms of literary works like sonnet, haiku, ottava, and rima. This is a comprehensive source of reference for all those related to the literary field, such as students, teachers, and even critics.
