Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Dictionary of Literary Terms
The field covered by the above definition of 'literary terms is limited still further by the general purpose of such a book as the present, which must obviously give the preference to the terms of English literature. In the selection of foreign terms which space has made necessary, first place has been given to such as illustrate directly or indirectly either the development of English letters or their comparative study.
