I had to buy this book for some class many many moons ago, and I thought it would be old hat by now, what with it sitting gathering dust on the shelf over the years. Surprisingly, though, after thinking I was just going to refresh my memory on little morsels like adynaton, hypozeugma, and all the many convoluted methods of scansion, I actually ended up spending more time with it than I had intended, led on by its interesting background commentary.

What makes it nice, is that it is more than just a I had to buy this book for some class many many moons ago, and I thought it would be old hat by now, what with it sitting gathering dust on the shelf over the years. What makes it nice, is that it is more than just a dictionary of literary terms - it's actually quite interesting to read in addition, like a mini-mini encyclopedia.

Perhaps it deserves to be properly dusted off and to join the books on my right-hand side. View all 8 comments. One of the best books available for a swift but meaningful study of every new term you can find in the academic study of English literature. Brief, to-the-point, clear and intelligible - it is a rich book for everyone seeking to systematically understand English literature.

Jul 15, Nidhi Singh rated it really liked it Shelves: lit-theory. Due to lack of time I had decided to do a selective study, but Abrams lured me into reading the whole of it. A good reference book for literature students! Highly recommended! Apr 16, Sadia Mansoor rated it really liked it Shelves: literature. I know this book is well-known and I know how many people praise this book. But after referring to several Glossaries of Literary Terms, I realized that such kinds of books still have a long way to go.

That is because none of them provide enough information on certain subjects and some of them do not have all the terms I needed to know about. Based on what I have learned, simplicity is the key to writing books and teaching. A technical book is supposed to be as simple and comprehensive as possib I know this book is well-known and I know how many people praise this book. A technical book is supposed to be as simple and comprehensive as possible.

Unfortunately, as detailed as it was, this book lacked simplicity. It is somehow hard and complicated for a beginner in Literature studies to process all the new information in just a few hours. I should also point out that referring to only one of these books during the process of study does not suffice. The "read" status I've given this book is purely for convenience: it is one that anyone who enjoys the nuts and bolts of literature as much as the actual product should always have on hand, whether to help answer a specific question, satisfy a vague curiosity, or use lucky dip style to discover something new about literature, and, by extension, the world.
