What does that mean?

Literary criticism can be mystifying. What do they mean by "Middle English" or "situational irony"?

The answers are in our Reference section. The Longman Dictionary of Literary Terms " (REF PN 44.5) is a user friendly primer of critical terms, aimed at undergraduates getting their first taste of serious literary study."

This week I've pulled print resources to answer questions where the answer wasn't being found on the internet (not even in GALILEO). Not everything has been digitized (yet).
