Language is an every changing and evolving phenomenon. The historical map of the English language is extremely fascinating. It has evolved so rapidly over the years that the general public remains fairly unaware of the kind of language people had used in the past couple of centuries. This is true to both colloquial as well as academic language. It is a constant challenge for most literature students to write mellifluously, keeping in mind the various ways by which a word can be used. A Glossary of Literary Terms is a very useful guidebook, especially when writing academically.

It can be especially useful to those studying literature as it provides an exhaustive and all encompassing list of words and phrases that the English language contains. It is not just students, but also teachers who find this book to be a very useful tool. The book has been updated to include all the latest theories and critiques.

A Glossary of Literary Terms has been specifically designed so as to make it user friendly, especially for the benefit of students.
