Times Literary Supplement "This is a comprehensive and eminently accessible text. The information is authoritative and clearly presented. The coombination of guide and gloassary is very appealing and I could see this being of great interest not only to writers but to fiction writing tutors and English Literature teachers as well. I thoroughly enjoyed browsing through the entries. The explanation of technical terms and the practical illustrations makes this a very readable reference book."
