Library visit: May 5

Some tips to guide your research today:

1) Read introductions, prefaces, afterwords, and epilogues to works your authors have written. You'll find many of them on bookshelves in this very library! These will give you quotes from your authors about their works.

2) Don't forget to check for essays your authors have written. Check out some primary texts of theirs: Virginia Woolf , George Orwell, Doris Lessing, Jane Austen. For Housman, read the quotes from Housman's letters in Emily Grosholz's essays on "A.E. Housman" on EBSCO's Advanced Placement Source.

3) If you must simply type full text, at least search EBSCO or Infotrac or JStor for the specific works your authors have written that might address the theme, setting, gender, resolution, or form issue on which you're focusing.
