Thoroughly updated and expanded, with more than 50 new terms, including traditional terms such as fairy tale, author, action and dialect; important contemporary terms such as graphic novel, hybridity, wiki, and blog; and introductions to emerging fields of critical study such as evolution (and literary criticism) and Native American Literature. More contemporary examples. To speak more directly to today’s students, the number of examples drawn from popular culture and contemporary literature has been increased, including references to movies (e.g.The Village, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, TV shows (e.g. Lost; South Park), and bestselling books (e.g. Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, Zadie Smith’s White Teeth, and Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home.) New visual examples. Unique to the Bedford Glossary, the visuals have been enhanced and include such images as Hieronymus Bosch’s Hell and a magazine cover representing the Harlem Renaissance.
