" Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-and upper-level undergraduates; general readers. " (Choice, 1July 2011) "Authoritative, thoughtfully prepared, convenient - this three-volume reference will serve students, teachers, professors, general readers, anyone seeking concise yet detailed treatment of authors, and anyone seeking context or a starting place for literary research." (Booknews, 1 April 2011) "Part of Blackwell Reference Online, the Wiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia of Literature is a database with content from several new stand-alone scholarly literature reference sets. Together, they provide almost 1,000 entries on the history, terminology, genres, and theory of the novel; major writers, works, movements, and genres of twentieth-century British, American, and world fiction; and terms and concepts related to post-1900 literary and cultural theory. The database would be a good investment for libraries that want to acquire the content." (Mary Ellen Quinn, Booklist, April 2011)]
