Prepared by recognized authorities, its articles treat their topics w/ sufficient depth & accessible lucidity to satisfy both scholar & general reader. Entries vary in length from relatively brief notices to substantial articles of about 20,000 words. "The Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics", first published in 1965, has established itself as a standard work in the field. Among the 215 contributors were Northrop Frye writing on allegory, Murray Krieger on belief in poetry, Philip Wheelwright on myth, John Hollander on music, & William Carlos Williams on free verse. In 1974, the Enlarged Edition increased the entries w/ dozens of new subjects, including rock lyric, computer poetry, & black poetry, to name just a few. "The New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics" accounts for the extraordinary change & explosion of knowledge within literary & cultural studies since the 1970s. This edition, completely revised, preserves what was most valuable from previous editions, while subjecting ea. existing entry to revision. Over 90 percent of the entries have been extensively revised & most major ones entirely rewritten. Completely new entries number 162, including those by new contributors Camille Paglia, Barbara Herrnstein Smith, Elaine Showalter, Houston Baker, Andrew Ross, & many more. New entries include those on cultural criticism, discourse, feminist poetics, & Chicano poetry. Improvements cover several areas: All the recent developments in theory that bear on poetry are included; bibliographies of secondary sources are extended; cross-references among entries & through blind entries have been expanded for greater ease of use; & coverage of emergent & non-Western poetries is dramatically increased. Indeed, a hallmark of the encyclopedia is its world-wide orientation on the poetry of national & cultural groups. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: ALEX PREMINGER is former Associate Professor & Chief of the Humanities Division, Brooklyn College Library, The City University of New York.
