Masterplots was the first book published by Salem Press in 1949 and is the original work of literary reference offering plot summaries. Salem pioneered this form of reference work. Since the original publication, the Masterplots concept has grown and changed with the times. From a collection of 500 plot summaries of world-famous novels, plays, poems and works of nonfiction, Masterplots has grown to include plot synopses, critical commentary, character profiles, literary settings and biographical profiles in more than 12,000 reference articles.
