A Glossary of Contemporary Literary Theory

Now in its third edition, this text has been revised and expanded to include many of the new terms to the late 1990s in the volatile field of literary theory. A substantial number of these new entries come from the increasingly influential area of post-colonialism (for example, neo-Tarzanism, mediascape, and nativism), many are new or previously unremarked terms in the field as a whole (for example, cyborg, queer theory, script, and habitus), and many entries have been revised as our understanding of the terminology has evolved to need redefinition.
