About the Author
J.A. Cuddon was a novelist, travel writer and academic. He died in 1996. The work of finishing off the fourth edition fell to C.E. Preston of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge.
From the Back Cover
Some sample entries:
'Changga (K 'long poem'). A 'popular' Korean verse form, usually of ten or more lines or stanzas with refrains. A frequent theme was love'.
And:
Leitmotif (G Leitmotiv, 'leading motif'). A term coined by Hans von Wolzugen to designate a musical theme associated throughout a whole work with a particular object, charcater or emotion, as so often in Wagner's operas. Thomas Mann used it as a literary term to denote a recurrent theme (q.v) or unit. It is occasionally used as a literary term in the same sense that Mann intended, and also in a broader sense to refer to an author's favourite themes: for example, the hunted man and betrayal in the novels of Graham Greene'.
And:
'Maximum scene technique. A jargon term for stream of consciousness (q.v) technique'.
