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.

Many of the essays that appear in print also appear online in the Gale Literary Sources 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. From the library homepage, select Databases, then G for "Gale Literary Sources".
2. Search by title for your work.

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

See the titles on the left 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.
