Literary Analysis and Criticism

Most of these databases have author searches and works searches. Sometimes an author's lesser-known work may not have a criticism written about it. You will need to then use your critical thinking skills to read some of their other works and those criticisms and then draw your own conclusions about the work you have chosen. Look at other authors who wrote during the same time period as your chosen author.  What was going on in the world during the author's life to influence their writing? These insights can help with your analysis.
