9: An Annotated List of Reference Websites
Literatures in English: Literary Criticism
Although some literary criticism can now be found through the free Internet,
the vast majority of scholarly criticism is still found in print or through
subscription databases accessible through libraries. Standard indexes to
literary criticism available at most academic libraries include the Modern
Language Association International Bibliography (MLAIB),
the Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature (ABELL), Humanities Index/Abstracts, and numerous other published bibliographies and indexes.
A number of the Web sites found through the "Site
Directories" section of this site will lead to individual author
sites. Such sites typically contain brief biographical information, bibliographies,
chronologies, and some essays or articles of literary criticism.
