A Glossary of Contemporary Literary Theory Summary

A Glossary of Contemporary Literary Theory by Professor Jeremy Hawthorn (Emeritus Professor, Norwegian University of Technology Trondheim, Norway)

A Glossary of Contemporary Literary Theory offers a clear and comprehensive guide to key literary theory terms. Now in its fourth edition, this text is a standard in the field and is an essential reference. The Glossary has been thoroughly revised and expanded to include over 70 important new terms and usages from this quickly evolving field. A substantial number of the new entries come from the increasingly influential area of gender politics, including queer theory and masculinity studies.

A Glossary of Contemporary Literary Theory Reviews

'The clean, supple writing highlights the difficulty and contested nature of terms, some of which assiduously elude lexical clarification. Doubly helpful because it both defines terms and advises on next-step reading, Hawthorn is more comprehensive than 'The Columbia Dictionary of Modern Literary and Cultural Criticism',...and complements M.H. Abrams' 'A Glossary of Literary Terms'.' Choice 'I have used the 'Concise Glossary of Contemporary Literary Theory' in my upper level literature courses at the University of Houston-Downtown for several years. My students find it invaluable and less confusing than other texts of the some type ... covers all the important literary terms with a thorough and engaging approach.' Gillian Hanson, Amazon.com
