  • Nick Johnson

    Had to acquire this book for studying reasons. My university lecturer made us buy it, since it ought to help us. And guess what: it did. Truely awesome explanations in this thing. I dont know, that I would buy it, just for looking up some definitions, still its a complete work than wiki anyways.The entries are comparable to OED style entries. Very nice to read and packed full of useful hints.

    This book was recommended for me from other AP Lit teachers and they were all correct. So many terms defined with solid examples of works for most terms. A great resource for this class.

  • Laura

    Jai acheté cet ouvrage pour la préparation au CAPES, puisque jai commencé la littérature anglophone au niveau Master sans en avoir fait en licene et avait sérieusement besoin de me mettre à jour. Il est très complet, et les explications de certains termes renvoient à des notions en lien avec le terme concerné. Les définitions sont simples et claires, et donnent parfois le contexte historique ou létymologie du terme, lorsque cest utile. Il est accessible à tous, il ny a pas besoin dêtre un expert en littérature pour comprendre les définitions.Bref, certainement lachat le plus utile que jai fait pour cette matiere, il surpasse louvrage de F. Grellet souvent conseillé pour cette matière.

    This is one book I feel that every English literature student should definitely have. It covers all the basic aspects of English literature, forms, etc. so it is a very useful buy. A dictionary for the various elements in English literature.
