Search Tips

Looking for articles ABOUT an author? See if the database has an option to do a  "subject" and enter your author's name lastname, firstname.

Looking for literary criticism about a work of literature?  Do a search with quotation marks around the title to keep it as a phrase like  "Clockwork Orange."

Databases

These databases focus on English Literature, analysis of poems, short stories, novels and drama.

Evaluating Articles

Scholarly or not? Three quick questions:

  1. Does it have a bibliography (reference list, works cited page, footnotes)?
  2. How long is it? A scholarly article should be more than 6 pages to contain a robust analysis.
  3. Is the author affiliated with a research or post-secondary institution?
