.Literature Subject Guide: Reference Sources

A straightforward, succinct dictionary of literary movements and terminology.

Encyclopedias, dictionaries, and companions to literature from the respected publisher. Search can target a specific publication or span the entire literature collection.

The entries in this book are "succinct essays" rather than technical definitions. The author's goal is to define the terminology within a full context. In doing so, he often combines separate terms into a single entry--for example, "Neoclassic and Romantic." The arrangement makes it important to use the book's index first, since Romantic is not represented under the R's in the main part of the book.
