Description
Summary:The prefaces outline the book’s scope, and in particular highlight how it is designed as a jumping off point rather than comprehensive work on what is an extensive and expanding field. Alphabetically arranged, individual entries run the gamut of a paragraph to a page or two in length, with suggestions of one or two works for further illustrative reading indicated at the end of many. Unlike many introductory works on critical theory, the text is accessible from at least an undergraduate level or for any reader with a yen to learn more about this field.
