Recensioner i media

‘The “Anthem Dictionary” defines literary terminology using modern examples with which twenty-first century students will relate. […] Although primarily for the serious use of students, the examples in the entries are frequently lively and entertaining. Seasoned scholars will benefit from not only updated words like “gynocriticism”, “ecocriticism”, and “kitchen sink drama”, but also by the new directions of terms such as disability studies. This volume is a highly useful research tool for everyone involved in literary criticism.’ —Charlotte Lingren, ‘American Reference Books Annual’
