Benét's reader's encyclopedia

Bruce Murphy (Editor)
Long recognized as the outstanding reference on world literature, Benetʼs Readerʼs Encyclopedia is the one against which all others are measured, and is the single-most complete one-volume encyclopedia available for those with a serious interest in the subject. The entries explore all aspects of literature from around the world: biographies of poets and playwrights, novelists and belletrists; plot synopses and character sketches from important works; historical data on literary schools, movements, terms and awards; myths and legends; and more. Completely revised and updated, this fourth edition captures the diversity of todayʼs canon, with greater attention to African-American, Eastern, Middle Eastern, African, South American, Eastern European and womenʼs literature
