Recenzii
This single-volume encyclopedia provides an introduction to unique and specific topics that may not have as extensive coverage in other works.
[T]he encyclopedia contributes to a broadening of the American canon to serve as a resource for teachers and students alike. . . . Summing Up: Recommended. Undergraduates, community college students, and teachers.
I enthusiastically recommend this reference work for all academic libraries. Students of literature at all levels-from enrollees in introductory courses to advanced researchers-will find it informative, enlightening, and useful. The entries in this work will enhance and enable further understanding of the complex matrix of connections, interactions and negotiations that, taken together, constitute America's literary heritage.
