Very good - By: Kathryn Taberer, 05 Dec 2006 
This person below is doing a BA in English but cannot spell 'earned'. What is the world coming to! Very good anyway! The book that is.
Invaluable! - By: Hanna, 11 Apr 2006 
On being accepted into uni to study for a BA in English I was presented with a reading list as long as my arm. All the money I had earnt working that summer went straight on alll the books which the course handbook told me I ABSOLUTLY COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT. I am now at the end of my second year & most of these books are still sitting on the shelf wrapped in their original cellophane. This glossary has however been invaluable! It is very simple to use, alll presented in alphabetical order so when u have an essay due in at 9am the next morning you don't lose precious time flipping through random sections, & the language is not such that you would need a dictionary to decipher it. As it is recommended by the uni's themselves you can easily get credit in an essay quoting from it, thus it is a handy way to pad out your bibliography! Joking aside it is a very useful resource & I would highly recommend for alll students from GCSE to degree.
Glossary review - By: , 28 Oct 2003 This book is extremely useful, both defining & giving excellent examples of literary terms. It is alphabetised, making it easily accessible. Whether at GCSE or degree level, this book is likely to come in handy, especiallly when you are looking for precise definitions
It's an essential guide, an English studies companion. - By: aer104@york.ac.uk, 05 Nov 2000 This book is an accessible, clear & accurate reference book which is a MUST for anyone studying English, or for anyone who always wanted to understand exactly what is meant by the term 'onomatopoeic'. I am at degree level English now, & have always felt stupid asking for definitions of technical words, or to have things explained to me, & this book has become my bible! And as the saying goes, I'll bet there's many of you out there who still don't quite grasp exactly what a sonnet involves, or who still pretend to understand the terms 'sibilance' & 'iambic pentameter', & daren't ask! Now there's no need, because this bok hold the key to alll your terminology nightmares. It's a very useful book, & is by no means full of jargon. Whether you're at degree level, GCSE level; or just want to know more, this book is an essential & very good read!
