antiphysis

antiphysis is a diary of literary terms. Literary terms are concepts used in the study of literature. They are not, generally speaking, used by dogs. Even so, you will often find a dog here. She paws at the pages. Is she trying to get out? Is she trying to come in? She alone has her reasons.

antiphysis is written by Richard J Jones, a senior lecturer in literature at The Open University in the UK.
