Highlights
Clear Definitions, Well-Chosen Examples
Each entry in Essential Literary Terms offers a clear, concise definition of the literary term, one or more illustrative example from a classic or contemporary literary work, and pronunciation help where needed.
Designed for Ease of Reference
Essential Literary Terms is written in a flexible, modular structure for ease of reference. An open, appealing design leads students to primary terms quickly and alerts them to related terms defined elsewhere in the book.
More than 100 Exercises Build Critical-Analysis Skills
Exercises ask students to identify a literary device or technique in a passage and to analyze its effect. These exercises, which build in length and complexity as the book progresses, reinforce students’ knowledge of essential terms while challenging them to think analytically about literature.
Answers to the exercises are available online for instructors only at the Norton Resource Library (www.wwnorton.com/nrl).
MLA Documentation Help
A brief, up-to-date appendix on MLA documentation and a sample student paper on a literary topic make Essential Literary Terms an even better value for students.
