The Routledge Dictionary of Literary Terms

The Routledge Dictionary of Literary Terms is a twenty-first century update of Roger Fowler's seminal Dictionary of Modern Critical Terms. Bringing together original entries written by such celebrated theorists as Terry Eagleton and Malcolm Bradbury with new definitions of current terms and controversies, this is the essential reference book for students of literature at all levels.

This book includes:

New definitions of contemporary critical issues such as `Cybercriticism' and `Globalization'.

An exhaustive range of entries, covering numerous aspects to such topics as genre, form, cultural theory and literary technique.

Complete coverage of traditional and radical approaches to the study and production of literature.

Thorough accounts of critical terminology and analyses of key academic debates. Full cross-referencing throughout and suggestions for further reading.

Peter Childs is Professor of Modern English Literature at the University of Gloucestershire. His recent publications include Modernism (Routledge, 2000) and Contemporary Novelists: British Fiction Since 1970 (Palgrave, 2004).

Roger Fowler (1939?99), the distinguished and long-serving Professor of English and Linguistics at the University of East Anglia, was the editor of the original Dictionary of Modern Critical Terms (Routledge, 1973, 1987).
