  • The project of an E-Dictionary of Literary Terms, in Portuguese, intends to gather a wide-ranging and an all-inclusive database of technical terms in use in literary studies, literary criticism, academic texts related to literature, and in the specific bibliographies of literary and cultural studies.
  • The database has around 1700 entries, including cross-references, and it includes a considerable number of current terms yet to be found in many dictionaries in this area, especially in the Portuguese language. More than 1000 entries are already online. It also includes many foreign terms that are part of the technical language of literary studies, which are used in various forms in the Portuguese-speaking world.
  • It provides extensively updated coverage of traditional drama, rhetoric, fiction, poetry, literary history, textual criticism, etc. In addition, the dictionary is thoroughly cross-referenced and offers web links related to selected terms.
  • The project is still a work-in-progress. The entries are published while  digitalization is being finished, and a final revision will be undertaken in order to give consistency to the Dictionary.
  • The research project has been produced by a team of more than hundred lecturers, both Portuguese and Brazilian. The project was initiated in 1997 and has since 2005 has evolved into this electronic publication, always under the coordination of Dr Carlos Ceia, associate professor of the New University of Lisbon (Portugal, at the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences, who is responsible for the conception of this work and its online edition and web-mastering.
  • The E-Dictionary includes only technical terms, excluding authors' biographical entries. It is open to permanent revision and further terms can be added.
  • This E-Dictionary, which is unique in the Portuguese language, is intented to every student, teacher, or reader of literature.
