New to Literary Criticism? Start here.


Now it’s easier than ever to find critical reviews of an author or work of literature. Albertsons Library is pleased to announce the addition of the Gale database Literature Criticism Online, an invaluable gateway that can help students new to literary research find introductory information about an author or work. The database is equally useful to more experienced researchers who are seeking biographical and contextual details about an author, their time, and the critical reception of their individual works.

Literature Criticism Online builds upon the Literary Index database that enabled basic searching of Gale’s literary criticism series. Literature Criticism Online includes searchable full-text entries with original page images for ten of Gale’s critical series that cover nearly every major period and genre.

  • Contemporary Literary Criticism
  • Twentieth-Century Literary Criticism
  • Nineteenth-Century Literary Criticism
  • Literature Criticism 1400-1800
  • Shakespeare Criticism
  • Poetry Criticism
  • Short Story Criticism
  • Children’s Literature Review

And soon to be added:

  • Drama Criticism
  • Classical and Medieval Literature Criticism

Perhaps best of all, like all Albertsons Library databases, Literature Criticism Online is available 24/7 from anywhere you have an internet connection and a BroncoWeb login. Enjoy!
