Criticism Online (Gale) |
provides online access to current volumes of the Gale literary criticism sets, aka the "brown books." LCO currently includes Contemporary Literary Criticism, Twentieth-Century Literary Criticism, Nineteenth-Century Literature Criticism, Literature Criticism from 1400-1800, and Poetry Criticism. Short Story Criticism and Drama Criticism will be added soon. This archive grows all the time, so check LCO often to view recently added volumes for all of these sets.
At this time Twentieth-Century Literary Criticism is the only series for which online access begins with volume 1; however, the Mt. SAC Library owns the earlier print volumes of all of these sets. To locate criticism from our full collection of Gale literary resources, you can search Gale's Lit Index (a link is found on the LCO basic search page) or work with a librarian at the Mt. SAC Library Reference Desk.
