Description
The "definitive " reference on literature in English, this handbook provides an alphabetical listing of more than 2,000 important terms and facts in literature, linguistics, rhetoric, criticism, printing, bookselling, and information technology. The website (www.prenhall.com/harmon) offers a handy glossary of key terms, a pronunciation key for select terms, pre- and post-tests on the terms, flash cards for key terms, a literary timeline, and links for all winners of the Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize. Covers a wide range of terms, centered in literature but extending into other areas, such as film, radio, TV, printing, linguistics, literary theory, music, graphic arts, classical studies, and information science. For anyone interested in literature and literary criticism.
