Handbook to Literature

[srpbritlit]

Does anyone here know anything or have any information on Existentialists William Harmon and Hugh C. Holman's Handbook to Literature? Please help me by telling me anything you know about it. I might want to buy it to help me with studying English/American Literature. Thank you!

I don't know anything personally concerning the book, but perhaps this link will help: Amazon.com: A Handbook to Literature (http://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Literature-11th-William-Harmon/dp/0136014399/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1198819846&sr=8-1).

Well I have the 8th Edition version. It's a pretty sizable book that gives good explanations on a wide variety of literary concepts, ideas, and terms. It also includes lists of Pulitzer Prize winners and Nobel Prize authors. It also has an outline of literary history (British and American).
