So you say you don't have time to read 1,801 important books...

Have heart! This set is phenomenal and mind-blowing. Every entry is just a couple pages long with a brief but thorough synopsis of the "masterplot" in question and a critical evaluation of the work. It's incredible. It's must have reference item and a bibliophile's dream.

essential reference for the student of literature

Masterplots is an excellent aid for students and scholars who need to check a fact, recall the name of a character or setting, or review the details of a plot--all in the convenience of one's own home. I have recourse to these volumes frequently and find that my use of them to answer specific questions saves time and frustration. Browsing them may lead my research down a productive new path. A useful set!
