Sinossi
Excerpt from A Dictionary of Literary Terms
The field covered by the above definition of 'literary terms is limited still further by the general purpose of such a book as the present, which must obviously give the preference to the terms of English literature. In the selection of foreign terms which space has made necessary, first place has been given to such as illustrate directly or indirectly either the development of English letters or their comparative study.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive literary compendium compiles a dictionary of literary terms, beginning with the premise that 'literary terms' should be understood as those words of specialized or technical meaning which constitute the vocabulary of literature. The author has consulted no previous work, expressing the belief that this compilation will prove useful to students and readers of literature, both casual and serious. Literary terms are broadly divided into two classes â" those which belong to the technology of literature, comprising terms for species and classes of literary and semi-literary compositions (e.g. phrases and terms of grammar, rhetoric, and prosody) and those belonging to the vocabulary of literary criticism, encompassing movements, periods, influences, schools, styles, virtues and vices. The author notes that the former class of terms is capable of adequate definition, while the latter is naturally intangible, and consequently less suited to clear-cut exposition. While the work is largely focused on the terms of English literature, the author has endeavoured to select foreign terms which shed light on the development of English letters or their comparative study. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781330543535_0
