Literary Criticism Databases
We have two subscription resources for literary criticism; Gale and EBSCO.
Powersearch across multiple databases at once. Narrow down your results by looking at the Subject headings or doing an Advanced Search with boolean logic.
This is one database you cannot powersearch but could be especially helpful in your quest for literary criticism. This is a terrific resource, if your author is included. It looks to include all of Gale's Contemporary Literary Criticism (which covers authors now living or who died after 1959) as well as other variable and assorted literary sources. If you have results showing a CLC volume number you can find it here.
This is an index by author and title to reference material. Some we have some we do not, but can borrow. Search for your author and then check the catalog to see if we have the book the index refers to. Most will be located in the reference room. If we do not own a title you would like an article from, copy down the title, volume and page numbers and give it to Ms. Powell or email her, kpowell@powayusd.com with the information. We will try to provide the document via interlibrary loan.
Completely full text and includes literary criticism, interviews, reviews, biographies and reference books.
