Reply:The very best book for your purpose would be "A Handbook to Literature" which is a dictionary of literary terms. It will give you much better answers than the ones your supporters have given here, although I'm impressed at how well they have done within the limitations given. There are other good dictionaries of literary terms, but no one is going to do the work necessary on twenty terms to get you twenty good answers for a lousy ten points. That's half a point per term.
