Where can i find a list of Literary Terms?

Question

I need a website that gives me a list of literary terms, and gives what each term means. For example:

Term: Antagonist
Defination: The primary force working against the protagionist of the story.

Do you know of such a website?

I'm not sure who truely deserves the best answer. i used all three websites and Wikipedia because the list of words i was defining could not all be found in any one of these sites. This is going to a vote

Answer 2

Yep, I sure do....Google - "Literary Terms" and the first group that pops up will be POETIC TERMS. Go back and then Google -Literary Terms Dictionary -By Joel Sommer Littauer. There are terms from Ato Z.

Good luck

P.s. A more simple definition that I tell my students for Antagonist - 'the bad guy" ; the Protagonist - "the good guy" (meanwhile you have learned two prefixes - pro (good) ant (against)
