Aids to access include a table of "Writers Covered, by Language of Composition" and an author time line. Relation to other works: There are many encyclopedias available for high school students but this volume focuses strictly on literature from the Renaissance most studied in advanced high school courses. Accessibility/Diversity: This encyclopedia ranges across a variety of cultures. Entries on religious works and movements are included. The influence of women writers is also valued in this volume.
