  Taking words from a variety of sources, and from a range of different languages and cultures, it is little wonder that contemporary literary theory poses peculiar difficulties of usage and understanding. This third edition of Hawthorn's acclaimed glossary contains a host of new terms, revises many of the previous entries (sometimes very substantially), and includes both an expanded bibliography and detailed recommendations for further reading.
