Contemporary Literary Criticism assembles critical responses to the writings of the world's most renowned novelists, poets, playwrights, short story writers, scriptwriters, and other creative writers and provides supplementary biographical context and bibliographic material to guide the reader to a greater understanding of the genres and creators. Each entry includes a set of previously published reviews, essays and other critical responses from sources that include scholarly books and journals, literary magazines, interviews, websites, and other sources, carefully selected to create a representative history and cross-section of critical responses. To complement this broad coverage, the CLC Yearbook focuses more specifically on a given year's literary activities and features a larger number of currently noteworthy authors than is possible in standard CLC volumes. CLC Yearbook provides students, teachers, librarians, researchers, and general readers with information and commentary on the outstanding literary works and events of a given year.
