Answer

The best place to find articles on works of literature is in our literature databases. Use our How To Use Literature Databases LibGuide (see link below) to access the best literature databases and get step by step instructions. You may need to use all three databases to find enough articles.

Here are some tips:

Literature Resources from Gale

Select name of work after typing in title of story or work.
Limit to Literature criticism under content type.
You can also limit to peer reviewed publications--these will all be academic journal articles.

Chadwyck-Healey Literature Online (LION) Reference Edition

Limit to articles on the Criticism search page.
Type the title of story or work in the subject field to search.

EBSCO

You can limit to Academic Journals under Source Types
It's also a good idea to take a look at limits available under Subject and Subject: Thesaurus terms. A good one would be CRITICISM.
