I was looking into buying something as a nice reference guide in my English studies. Many people recommended me the Penguin Dictionary of Lit Terms and Lit Theory 4th Edition as a solid book, but there is a fifth edition out.
Does anyone own one or both books? Which would you recommend purchasing?
Fifth you idiot, what, you think theyre going to take a term out or something?

I heard from some with both that the fourth is more comprehensive, and that the fifth really only expands upon multicultural theory and doesn't do anything better.

Well, maybe they're right. Anyways, I've gotta go see a man about a dog.

Well, the Fourth Edition is on LibGen, so if you don't wanna waste too much money, just print the PDF or keep it in your computer.

Oh, then I'll just do this then. Maybe I'll purchase the fifth edition in case I find the fourth lacking. Thanks.
And I just ended up downloading both editions. There goes that, I suppose.
