| Summary: | Because it does not contain general information about a particular movement or era in literature, it is best used when a user has a specific author or work in mind. From there, it would be a simple task to search a title or name and locate the appropriate entries or look for them in the index to see if their term is mentioned within a particular entry. Because the entries are about a specific selection of contemporary authors the user will find little in the way of synopses of works or thorough biographies of authors. The e‐book version of The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Writers and Their Works is very accessible due to the reader search feature but is best used to find information on particular topics relating to the included authors rather than contemporary writing more generally. |
