Features: The new edition of the Oxford English Literary Dictionary (Oxford English Literature Series), this book has reached a new level in terms of scientific rigor, accuracy, advancement, and the breadth of entries compiled. Apart from removing content related to music and art that has little connection to literature, as well as too old, obscure, or insignificant writers, it has also added a large number of writers born after 1939, breaking through a major taboo of traditional literary dictionaries. This edition retains the stability and meticulousness of previous versions while reflecting the comprehensive picture of British literature in the postmodern pluralistic context, making it an indispensable reference for all literature enthusiasts, especially for students and teachers of English literature.
