In the new edition of this work many of the 2000 terms it defines have completely revised entries, and there are several hundred new entries.

Now, in addition to its informative entries on the language of literature and literary criticism, from Bascarole and courtesy books to sprung rhythm and Vorticism, the dictionary contains entries on theorietical topics from aporia to Yale School. Amongst these are Freudian and psychoanalytic criticism, formalism, grammatology, hermeneutics, post-modernism and structuralism.J.A.Cuddon was a prominent expert in the domains of literature and linguistics from 1928 to 1996. He also wrote plays, libretti, novels, short tales, essays, and travel narratives, among other things.
