The Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics, published in 1965, established itself as a standard work in the field. Then, in 1974, the Enlarged Edition increased the entries with dozens of new subjects, including structuralism, hermeneutics, and Afro-American poetry, to name just a few.
The New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics accounts for the extraordinary change and explosion of knowledge within literary and cultural studies since the 1970s. This edition, completely revised, preserves what was most valuable from previous editions while subiecting each existing entry to „ revision. Over 90 percent of the entries have been extensively revised and most major ones entirely rewritten. Completely new entries number 162, and include those on cultural criticism, feminist poetics, and Chicano poetry.
Improvements cover several areas. All the recent developments in theory that bear on poetry are included; bibliographies of secondary sources ore expanded; cross-references within entries and by means of blind entries have been expanded for greater ease of use; and coverage of emergent and non-. Western poetries is dramatically increased. Indeed, a hallmark of the encyclopedia is its worldwide orientation on the poetry of national and cultural groups. , r . ,r ,
