    What distinguishes realism from ‘classic bourgeois’ realism and magic realism? How does a Shakespearean sonnet differ from a Spenserian or a Petrarchan sonnet? The answers to these and many other literary questions are provided in this expanded and updated edition of Martin Gray’s much-acclaimed Dictionary. Wide in scope, it covers such fields as literary movements (neoclassicism, Romanticism,), genres and sub-genres (tragedy, elegy), technical language (anapaest, synecdoche), and schools of literary theory (structuralism, deconstructionism). The result is a clear, lively and informative guide through the bewildering maze of literary terminology.
