Reference Resources

These Reference Resources are a great starting point for you to find biographical information on your chosen author.

Newspapers

Newspapers are useful Primary Sources that can provide at-the-time reactions to the novels you are studying as well as biographies and interviews with your chosen authors.

Journal Articles

Scholarly Journals (also called Academic Journals) will give you access to in-depth peer-reviewed articles of your chosen novels, such as informed reviews and literary analyses.
