We have several databases that are ideal for researching literature and finding literary criticism and I found that all our literature databases have articles on Beowulf. Just a reminder, login with your COM account for off campus access

For your particular topic I would recommend: 

  1. Go to the A-Z databases: Literary Criticism page and choose a databases. JSTOR and ProQuest are your best bets. 
  2. Type in Beowulf AND hero  (using hero will get both hero and heroism in your results)

Here is more general information about our top databases for criticism:

  • JSTOR
    Great for finding scholarly articles with criticism. Probably has the most criticism articles of all our databases. 
  • ProQuest One Community College
    Great for finding scholarly articles with criticism. You may find more recent articles here than in JSTOR. 
  • OneSearch
    Great for finding books and eBooks with criticism as well as articles. 

You can find all of these databases plus a few more on the A-Z Databases: Literary Criticism page. Get Tips for Finding Literary Criticism
