A Concise Glossary of Contemporary Literary Theory
Taking words from a variety of sources, and from a range of different languages and cultures, it is little wonder that contemporary literary theory poses peculiar difficulties of usage and understanding. This third edition of Hawthorn's acclaimed glossary contains a host of new terms, revises many of the previous entries (sometimes very substantially), and includes both an expanded bibliography and detailed recommendations for further reading.

invaluable for students and lay readers alike
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I have used A Concise Glossary of Contemporary Literary Theory in my upper level literatue courses at the University of Houston-Downtown for several years. My students find it invaluable and less confusing than other texts of the same type. Mr. Hawthorn covers all the important literary terms with a thorough and engaging approach. I recommend this book to anyone interest in reading about or teach contemporary literature. I only wish his other books on literary criticism were still available.
