Reviews

This work begins its coverage in 1715 with Neoclassicsm and concludes in 1880 with the advent of symbolism. (Cross references are made to a forthcoming companion volume that will extend coverage to post-modernism.) Writers dominate the discussion of major works, which conclude with a critical appraisal. Literary/philosophical movements and terms (e.g., Marivaudage') are also included. Advantages of the Dictionary include its close-up focus on an important period and its emphasis on current (1980-85) references for further readings.... Recommended for larger humanities collections and libraries specializing in the field.-Library Journal
