Book Reviews of A Handbook to Literature (Handbook to Literature)

Book Review: Really fast delivery!
Summary: 5 Stars

My on-line class had already started and the books had not arrived. The campus bookstore couldn't give me any clue as to when their 'back-order' problem might be resolved. I was in a PANIC!!! Then I thought Amazon.com! I asked for overnight delivery and I got overnight delivery. I know of students who did not get their books until 3 weeks into the class. Thank you Amazon. Bobby A. Young

Summary of A Handbook to Literature (Handbook to Literature)

The definitive  reference on literature in English, this handbook provides an alphabetical listing of more than 2,000 important terms and facts in literature, linguistics, rhetoric, criticism, printing, bookselling, and information technology.  The website (www.prenhall.com/harmon) offers a handy glossary of key terms, a pronunciation key for select terms, pre- and post-tests on the terms, flash cards for key terms, a literary timeline, and links for all winners of the Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize.  Covers a wide range of terms, centered in literature but extending into other areas, such as film, radio, TV, printing, linguistics, literary theory, music, graphic arts, classical studies, and information science.  For anyone interested in literature and literary criticism.
