Product description

Review

"Just as approaches to literary studies have evolved, A Glossary of Literary Terms, has met the challenge of evolving and morphing into just what is needed for undergraduates, graduates, and professors of English and American Literature." "This book is unique, superior because of the comprehensive, synthesizing, essay-based approach and its lucidity . . .essays are ambitiously comprehensive yet succinct . . .This book is second to none."

This book is a literary lifesaver. It gives you info that you didn't know you needed, and points you in directions to find out more.. love it. Highly recommend for highschool students, uni students, and teachers of lit.

The book was as described -used and underlined by previous owner. It was a little overpriced because of this but the book itself - the content - is invaluable for my purposes so overall I am pleased with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Für Studenten der Englischen Literaturwissenschaft ein "Must"
Reviewed in Germany on 6 January 2014

M.H. Abrams Glossary ist ein Standard - dies ist eine der neueren Editionen. Ich persönlich finde, dass der Standard der neuen Einträge sich durchaus mit dem der alten Klassiker messen kann und das Glossary weiter fast unabdingbar für das Grundstudium ist. Gerade für die unteren Semester, die manchmal noch Mühe haben im Internet die verlässlichen von den unverlässlichen Quellen zu unterscheiden.

Das Einzige was mir an dieser Edition nicht gefällt, ist das Cover. Das Buch wirkt mehr wie ein Buch für die Primarschule als für ernsthaftes Studium. Das Cover trügt hier.

Excellent book. My first source of reference when I'm struggling to understand a literary concept. Detailed and in-depth information. I have the international edition which appears to be different from the American and Canadian edition.
