On the one hand, new discourses and literarytheoretical perspectives have helped maintain the stream of publications on the“traditional” figures of the literary canon, and Shakespeare, as one essayist in the Guide writes, remains “the single most contested site of literary and theoretical skirmish in the English-speaking world”. On the other hand, notions of a canon have had to become more flexible because of, among other developments, the reclamation of women writers in all genres, periods, and nationalities, the increasing attention to writers of ethnic minorities (most evidently in the United States), and the decline of the subsidiary term“Commonwealth Literature” in favour of the more assertively independent and plural“New Literatures”.  \nIn selecting entries for the Guide the views of the project’s advisers (listed in the Acknowledgments), the contributing essayists, and other scholars and commentators were taken into account. Two principal criteria were borne in mind in choosing an entry:(a) the existence of a reasonably substantial body of discussion on the subject, particularly in book form, and (b) evidence of strong current interest in the subject. Inmost cases these two criteria were complementary. Writers and topics that do not receive their own entries—often because the amount of critical literature on them is small—frequently receive attention under more general entries: for example, while books on individual women writers of the Renaissance are few in number as yet, there are several general studies, which are here considered in the entry “Women Writers: Renaissance”.(Citations of all individual writers discussed can be located via the General Index.)  \nThe resulting selection includes entries about the literature on national traditions and periods (e.g., “British Literature: 18th Century” or “Canadian Literature”), genres and idioms (e.g.,“Travel Literature” or “The Sonnet”), literary theory (e.g.,“Deconstruction”or “New Historicism”), cultural contexts (e.g.,“Film and Literature”), writing by women and ethnic minorities (e.g., “Women Writers to 1700” and “Native American Literature”), artist","cbCaib0gccA7vnSp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib0gccA7vnSp","pdf",13655472,1860,"English","# Editor’s Note and Guide to Usage\n## Aims, Scope and Selection of Entries\n## Arrangement of the Entries\n## Format Within Entries\n# Contents\n## Adviser and Contributors\n## Alphabetical List of Entries\n## Thematic List: Entries by Category\n# Indexes\n## Booklist Index\n## General Index\n## Notes on Advisers and Contributors","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Reader’s Guide to Literature in English?\",\"answer\":\"It aims to provide informed description and evaluation of critical writing on a range of topics and writers in English literature across major English-speaking traditions.\"},{\"question\":\"How are entries selected for inclusion in the guide?\",\"answer\":\"Selection prioritizes a reasonably substantial body of discussion (often in book form) and evidence of strong current interest; in many cases these criteria complement each other.\"},{\"question\":\"How can readers access the guide’s content besides the alphabetical arrangement?\",\"answer\":\"Readers can use the Thematic List, the Booklist Index, and the General Index to locate entries by subject area, by works of particular critics or scholars, or by literary names.\"}]","Reader’s Guide to Literature in English - Editor Mark Hawkins-Dady - London Chicago | PDF",1789945658,2864]
