Looking for Criticism

The full text of hundreds of scholarly journals which include literary criticism may be found in EBSCOhost Academic Search Premier and ProQuest.

EBSCOhost allows you to search for works by title phrase without requiring the phrase to be enclosed in quotation marks. It is often useful to narrow the search by looking for the words book, books (truncate to 'book*'), literature, literary (truncate to 'litera*') in the subject terms assigned to the articles, as:


If you are searching for a work of literature with a single word title (for example, 1984) or a very common phrase you may need to narrow your search by using the author's last name on the last row.

ProQuest requires you to place exact phrases in quotes, otherwise it looks for those words close to each other, but not exactly together in that order. Works of literary criticism typically have that word in the subject, so the following search is effective:

If the articles you locate contain unfamiliar literary terms you may find the Oxford Reference Online Literature resources useful.
