Any good dictionary for literature?

If you talking about a dictionary of literature--with authors, literary genres, etc-- I like the Merriam Webster Encyclopedia of Literature. Also, Oxford University Press has a number of Oxford Companion to... books that deal with various literatures.

American Heritage. Merriam Webster. Do you want an online dictionary or an actual book? They are expensive, if you plan to buy one. Use the online's, they're free.
