Literary Terms for Competitive Examinations in English (Sub-title: Literary Terms Made Easy through MCQs) is an exquisite and encyclopedic work of literary terms along with mythical and biblical allusions, serious authors and their significant works, useful quotations, and some other remarkable interconnected facts of English literature.
The magisterial book, deftly written by one of India’s foremost literary scholars— Sudhir K. Arora and one of India’s Gold Medalists (Postgraduate in English) of 21st century— Dakshta Arora and exquisitely published by one of India’s leading publishers— PBD, Bareilly, is a rich collection of “knowledge-packed pieces of information” in the MCQs form for the lovers of English literature as well as for the aspirants of competitive examinations held around the world.
The book, which successfully captures more than 2000 MCQs on literary terms and other interrelated facts of literature, is a kind of unique chronicle systematically composed in simple and clear expression in order to make the scholars understand even the most complex and methodical contexts of English literature.
