Locating Literary Criticism 

This guide will help you locate criticism, interpretation, and analysis of literary works.  

If you are doing a research paper that requires critical analysis of a novel, short story, play or essay,

this is a great place to start. You will also find sources for plot overview, character analysis and general theme.

  

The tabs at the top will lead you to resources for your paper. 

If you have more questions or need assistance, speak with a Reference Librarian!
