Access Gale Reference Books

In your search for print, begin with the select reference titles on either side of this page. To find criticism on specific works, use the Gale Literary Sources database and search by title.

Many of the essays that appear in print also appear online in the Artemis database, but not all. Depending on your work, you may find more sources online than in print or vice versa. NOTE: Make sure you don't find the same source in print and online.

1.Select Gale Literary Sources, then Gale Literary Index.

2. Do a Title Search for your work.

3. Select the title that best fits your work and author. Match words exactly as entered. 

4. We don't own all Gale titles, but we own most that will appear in these results. (See the titles on either side of this page for the ones we own.) The bold number indicates the volume and the others are pages where your work appears. Most of the essays in these books appeared elsewhere first, often in  a journal or book.
