The Columbia Dictionary Of Modern Literary And Cultural Criticism

The Columbia Dictionary Of Modern Literary And Cultural Criticism

Alphabetical entries cover common words and expressions from the humanities, arts, and literary theory. Review "The organization of the Dictionary is genuinely helpful, including as it does short bibliographies for some of the heavyweight entries, pronunciation guides for others and careful cross-references throughout. The entries themselves are lucid, reliable, and often scrupulous in distinguishing various senses of the same term used in different intellectual traditions." -- "Times Literary Supplement" From the Back Cover The Columbia Dictionary Of Modern Literary And Cultural Criticism helps to initiate the curious generalist into the often exclusionary world of these theoretical vocabularies, and to authoritatively refresh the memories of specialists themselves on certain necessary terms and their roots.
