The identification of elements and approaches in drama, fiction, and poetry can enhance readers' enjoyment, but without a guide to these literary conventions, many readers miss out. This brief, affordable, and accessible handbook of literary terms complements courses, including introduction to literature, literature for composition, American literature, British literature, and introduction to literary studies. In clear, concise, and user-friendly language, the book defines terms---and illuminates them with contemporary, multicultural examples from a variety of literary genres. --Book Jacket.
