Review
"Helpful spin-offs from an acclaimed 'mother volume.'" - Library Journal
"With over a million words and more than one thousand entries, this latest edition of The Princeton Handbook of World Poetries may well evolve into becoming the most important reference book in anyone's library. . . . Ever since its first publication, The Princeton Handbook of World Poetries has oft been referred to as the ultimate, authoritative reference with regards the study of world poetry. With a menagerie of terms, concepts, schools, movements and international tradition(s), contained herein is an almost one-of-kind reference book."---David Marx, David Marx Book Reviews
