From

Aiming “to offer a comprehensive view of how an author’s work fits within the context of the author’s life, historical events, and the literary world,” this set includes some 500 writers. Authors traditionally studied in literature classes as well as those whose works currently top the best-seller lists are covered. Entries are organized into three main sections: “Works in Biographical and Historical Context,” “Works in Literary Context,” and “Works in Critical Context.” Additional entry features include “Key Facts,” listing birth and death dates and major works; “Responses to Literature,” with suggestions for discussion and writing assignments; and “Further Reading.” There are also sidebars entitled “Literary and Historical Contemporaries” and “Common Human Experience,” the latter listing works similar in technique or theme to those of the entrant’s. Gale Contextual Encyclopedia of American Literature treats an array of authors from Abigail Adams to Paul Zindel. It is worth noting that a number of authors of books for young people are included, among them Beverly Cleary, Virginia Hamilton, and Jane Yolen. Glossaries of literary terms, general indexes, and indexes by nationality or ethnicity complete each set. With their breadth of coverage and wealth of information supplied, these sets will be useful additions to academic and public library reference collections. Gale Contextual Encyclopedia of World Literature (2009) applies similar treatment to world authors. --Carolyn Mulac
