This book has been a trusted aid since High School. Most any time I turn to it with a question, it has an answer.
Absolutely required to be on your bookshelf if you are an English major. This book will help you so much!
A delectable, enjoyable, and very necessary buffet of knowledge for the English major! Sigh.
A good desk top reference dictionary.
A bible in my literature classes.
A great resource. I love the way the author has these partialities that he just can't keep out of his writing, no matter how hard to tries. How Poe having a lot of influence on later horror novelists was to their detriment, for example.
I used this text to supplement books I was using when teaching a course on literary criticism.
I use this every unit to get definitions for the literary terms we use. Thick and filled with everything you could want.
I haven't read every single word defined, yet this book is a must when you are studying English.
