Research Guides: English Literature and Composition: Find Articles

Find Articles

The databases listed below contain articles from news, magazine, and scholarly sources. When you search, look for visual clues in the records (icons, title of the source, authors' credentials) to figure out whether a particular article is scholarly or popular. For a complete list of databases that Guttman subscribes to, click here.

Academic OneFile
Like Academic Search Complete, Academic One File searches for both scholarly and popular articles across disciplines, but from publications that are not included in Academic Search Complete.

Go to the MLA first if you are looking for scholarly articles (criticism) on a particular writer, novel, play, or other literature-related topic.
Humanities Source
