Online Books

Library Resources

 We have many reliable resources available to help you with this project.

 First, you must know what literary criticism is –“the evaluative or interpretive work written by professional interpreters of texts. It is ‘criticism’ not because it is negative or corrective, but rather because those who write criticism ask hard, analytical, crucial, or 'critical' questions about the works they read.” (Norton’s Anthology).

Literary criticism is NOT found on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com, Wikipedia or Spark Notes, etc.

Google books

Look here for online books that may contain literary criticism.  Try using your book title AND "literary criticism". 

Check your results carefully--not every book is entirely available.
