New Literature Criticism Database

Salem Literature Logo

Taking ENG 113? Need sources that offer literary criticism? The CPCC Libraries have added a new research database full of literary criticism called Salem Literature. Using this resource, students can search analytical essays (both classic criticism and original analysis) on authors and works central to literary study.

Included are classic and contemporary authors such as Toni Morrison, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Jane Austen. Classic works covered include Death of a Salesman, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and Joy Luck Club.

In addition, the library has received a set of books that complement this database. These print titles can be found in the Library Catalog. So, you have the option of finding literary criticism in print books and online.

The Library also offers access to two other research databases that focus on this subject area, Literature Resource Center and Literary Reference Center.
