by Roger Fowler

The book differs from other 'dictionaries of criticism' in concentrating less on time-honoured rhetorical terms and more on conceptually flexible, powerful and contemporary critical terms. Each entry consists not simply of a 'dictionary definition' but an essay exploring the history and full significance of the term, and its possibilities in contemporary critical discourse.

Reviews

[David · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's good in places, but a little outdated now.

[Catherine · Rating 2 out of 5]

I find this dictionary very disappointing for its lack of entries. Penguin's Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory is far more useful.
