Glossary of Contemporary Literary Theory

A Glossary of Contemporary Literary Theory offers a clear and comprehensive guide to key literary theory terms. Now in its fourth edition, this text is a standard in the field and is an essential reference. The Glossary has been thoroughly revised and expanded to include over 70 important new terms and usages from this quickly evolving field. A substantial number of the new entries come from the increasingly influential area of gender politics, including queer theory and masculinity studies.
