Great Reference Book
All of the literary questions that I have seem to be in this book. From literary terms to literary periods, it covers it all. "A Handbook to Literature" is a great reference book, and is loaded with information.
Hang on to this one
This appears to be a good book for English majors to hang on to for future reference.
Really fast delivery!
My on-line class had already started and the books had not arrived. The campus bookstore couldn't give me any clue as to when their 'back-order' problem might be resolved. I was in a PANIC!!! Then I thought Amazon.com! I asked for overnight delivery and I got overnight delivery. I know of students who did not get their books until 3 weeks into the class. Thank you Amazon. Bobby A. Young
A Handbook to Literature
It appears to be a good book. I have not actually used it much, yet. It has tons of information in it that I will eventually need.
Thanks
Indespensible
After several feverish hours of searching for literary definitions that I could not find anywhere on the internet, I remembered this book which I had bought for my first college literature course. Everything that I needed was in this book, even though the definitions had been previously elusive. If you are an English major, buy this book. It will save you hours because it is filled with definitions of everything literature related, from mimesis to plainsong; from expressionism to vignette.
