520 _aThe Penguin Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory is firmly established as a key work of reference in the complex and varied field of literary criticism. Now in its fourth edition, it remains the most comprehensive and accessible work of its kind, and is invaluable for students, teachers and readers alike. - Gives definition of technical terms (hamartia, iamb, zeugma) and critical jargon (aporia, binary, intertextuality) - Explores literary movements ( neoclassicism, romanticism, Vorticism) and schools of literary theory (feminist criticism, new historicism, structuralism) - Covers genres (elegy, fabliau, pastoral) and literary forms (haiku, ottava rima, sonnet).
