Hunting for literary criticism? Let Artemis be your guide!

When researching literature the Gale family of databases is probably the best place to start, since Gale has the largest and most comprehensive collection of  literary criticism out there. And now you can search all of the Gale databases the Ritz  has using a single interface: Artemis Literary Sources.

 

Artemis allows you to search across many of Gale's secondary literature sources, including Short Story Criticism, Shakespearean Criticism & Scribner's Writers Online. The system's subject searching allows you to identify and search on such concepts as setting, characters & symbolism. As with all the library's databases, full citations for all documents are aavailable in PAP & MLA format. Questions? Contact the Refdesk!
