Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory by J. A. Cuddon
In this new, third edition, many of the 2,000 terms originally defined have completely revised entries, and there are several hundred entirely new entries.
The coverage of the dictionary had been expanded to encompass literary theory and the critical movements that have developed since the book's first publication. Now, in addition to stimulating entries on the language of literature and literary criticism, from barcarole and desert-island fiction to sprung rhythm and Freudian and psychoanalytic criticism, formalism, grammatology, hermeneutics, post-modernism and structuralism.
