• PROJECT 1: E-Dictionary of Literary Terms

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 more than 1500 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. 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 now re-published and authors will edit their own entries from this new version. All users can now add comments (subject to approval by the webmaster).
• The research project has been produced by a team of more than 170 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.
• EDTL includes only technical terms, excluding authors' biographical entries. It is open to permanent revision and further terms can be added.
• There are similar projects on the Internet, for example: DITL: Dictionnaire International des Termes Littéraires (France)
• The EDTL , which is unique in the Portuguese language, is intended to every student, teacher, or reader of literature.
