The dictionary contains entries keyed by author and works, the length of each entry determined by the relative significance of the writer or movement being discussed.

Authors are listed alphabetically and cross-referenced both within the text and the index to facilitate easy access to information. Selected bibliographical entries are also listed alphabetically by author and include both the original title and English translation, publisher, date and place of publication, and number of pages.
