The Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms

From Jacques Derrida’s differance to Henry James’s ficelle , the vocabulary of literary theory and criticism can seem difficult if not opaque. To help remedy the average reader’s bafflement, this of Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms provides succinct and often witty explanations of almost twelve hundred terms, covering everything from the ancient dithyramb to the contemporary dub poetry, from the popular bodice-ripper to the aristocratic masque, and from the social realism of Stalin’s era to the magic realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Shedding light on some of the most troublesome literary terms encountered by students and general readers, this gem offers increased coverage of many new coinages from modern critical and theoretical movements. It also provides extensively updated coverage of traditional drama, rhetoric, literary history, and textual criticism. Throughout, the author’s emphasis is on helping readers use these terms more confidently. Readers will find clear and often entertaining explanations for words such as multi-accentuality, postmodernism, hypertext, cyberpunk, and antanaclasis.

A model reference book, Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms will prove invaluable for both general readers and literature students at all levels.
