This revised, expanded and updated fifth edition of this widely used introduction to the novel, defines the basic terminology of literary critics and explains the difference between terms such as "story" vs. "plot" or "symbol" vs. "image" and explores essential concepts and approaches such as what narrative theorists mean by "frequency" and "distance" and "realism", "modernism" and "postmodernism". New to this edition is a section on cyberfiction, fuller coverage of postmodernism and the novella and tips for writing essays and answering exam questions.

This study explores attitudes of theorists who see reading and writing as inescapably moulded and informed by historical circumstance. It examines new historicism, cultural materialism and Marxism, and their productive engagement with varieties of formalism and textualism.

Taking words from a variety of sources, and from a range of different languages and cultures, it is little wonder that contemporary literary theory poses peculiar difficulties of usage and understanding. This new edition of Hawthorn's acclaimed glossary, contains a large body of new terms, revises many of the previous entries (sometimes very substantially), and includes both an expanded bibliography and detailed recommendations for further reading. The cross-referencing is extensive, allowing a good appreciation of the context of particular terms; and bibliographic guidance enables the reader readily to trace their origin and development.
