An online version of Gale Publishing's literature reference series, including material from Contemporary Literary Criticism, the Dictionary of Literary Biography, and more. These two databases offer full-text journals in the humanities, including many literature criticism journals. Search for articles or browse whole issues. Book reviews generally do not offer lengthy literary analysis, but can be an excellent source of information about contemporary authors, or can indicate how a classic book was received when it was first published. Bibliographies are listings of articles or books by topic.
Bibliographies usually cover historical or retrospective material, rather than current sources.
Do not confuse author searches with subject searches. Look at the index in the last volume of each set to find an author or title. Some sets have a separate index volume. Ask at the Reference Desk on the 1st floor for more help with reference sources.
