Expanded to include many new entries, it has been improved throughout, in places rendered more concise, in others amended and extended, with both major and minor additions. The work of the third edition, to cover the schools and various terminologies of literary theory, is continued, without compromising coverage afforded to more traditional critical terms and topics."--Jacket.
