H. Abrams, Class of 1916 Professor of English at Cornell University, Emeritus, is a distinguished scholar who has written prize-winning books on eighteenth-and nineteenth-century literature, literary theory and criticism, European Romanticism, and Western intellectual history. His A Glossary of Literary Terms is a series of succinct essays on the chief terms and concepts used in discussing literature, literary history and movements, and literary criticism. Since first published in 1957, the Glossary has become an indispensable handbook for all students of English and other literatures.  \nGeoffrey Galt Harpham is president and director of the National Humanities Center in North Carolina. He has written extensively in the fields of intellectual history and critical theory, and on the work of Joseph Conrad. Among his books are The Character of Criticism, Shadows of Ethics: Criticism and the Just Society, and Language  \nAlone: The Critical Fetish of Modernity.  \nThis page intentionally left blank  \n✵  \nContents  \nPREFACE ix  \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS xi  \nHOW TO USE THIS GLOSSARY xii  \nLITERARY TERMS 1  \nINDEX OF AUTHORS 383  \nThis page intentionally left blank  \n✵  \nPreface  \nThis book defines and discusses terms, critical theories, and points of view that are commonly applied in classifying, analyzing, interpreting, and writing the history of works of literature.
