The Penguin Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory

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.

I like the vast amount of literary terms it contains defined and explained in a very clear and simple way....a must have book for every literature aspirant and lover

Hello, I am sachin mane from maharashtra, India. I bought it yesterday (25/12/2021). In time delivery by amazon. Thanks for that. Book is lightweight. the publication date of fifth paperback edition published in 2014but on amazon page it shows september 2015. page quality is poor and font is too small to read without glasses. however rich with many updated entries and helpful to a student of literature. I would give four stars ****.

Don't miss it.

To me it is a tough competitor to M.H Abrams' Glossary of literary terms. The book is also affordable and nice except that the pages seemed a little thin. Nevertheless, I'm completely satisfied and recommend for any English Literature student

This is such a monster of a book, But it is really amazing. There are a lot of things to learn from this one. There are so many literary terms and their usages etc. If you are a literature student , then this book is a must. It will help you to learn and get through the competitive exams.

Mesmerizing in its strength of quality.I have received a clean fat book with print size quite small, but readable easily.Literary Terms and Literary Theory is mixed up and arranged in alphabetical order.Thank you for timely delivery and easy payment options. I got it for less than Print Price (431).

An indispensable reference book for students of literature. It's language and style are much appealing. I like its having a feature like dictionary and quite different from other literary reference book.
