Synopsis:

Revised to include more non-Western and female authors, the fourth edition of an encyclopedic guide to world literature contains more than nine thousand entries, including plot summaries, writers' biographies, and sketches of fictional characters. 35,000 first printing.

Synopsis: This reference has been completely revised and updated to cover more work from Eastern, Middle Eastern, South American, African and Eastern European writers, as well as more entries on African American and women writers. As previously, this volume contains biographies of playwrights, poets, novelists, essayists and bellestrists from all over the world from the classic to the most modern. It also cross-references with biographies on characters which figure prominently in literature. It covers myths, legends and folklore used in literature, accounts of significant schools and movements in literature; and also lists all the recipients of major literary awards such as the Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes.
