Where To Research Literature

Welcome to the English Literature Research Guide!  What do you need?
1.  Primo library search: filter for Articles, Books, Chapters, E-books, Video, or Reference Entries (definitions).
2. MLA database and other literature databases to find journal articles, books, and book chapters (literary criticism).

3. Literature Resource Center for author biographies (or Primo for book-length ones) and quick info.
3. Google Scholar. Be sure it is linked to Regent (menu; Settings; Library Links; search for Regent; Save).
4. Oxford English Dictionary, an in-depth historical dictionary that is preferred for defining words used in literature. 
5. Good websites like Victorian Web & Shakespeare Online, and free classic books online (searchable with control F).
