A Glossary of Literary Terms

The meanings of terms are richly developed in well--written essays that are generous in their discussions of the histories of the terms and in the nember of examples provided. The bibliographies lead students to the center of an issue. The number of essays that incorporate other erms into their discussions is large. The volume thereby succeeds in providing more than a mere taxonomy of terms; it gives students a sense of how the terms function within the practice of the discipline.
