English Language & Literature

Searchable bibliography of work published on literature and language since 1963. There is very little full-text available within the database itself, so it is recommended to use the Get it @ MSU button.

This database is the most extensive curated compilation of literary criticism and commentary published from 1800-present available. Only this collection brings together 10 of the most acclaimed literary series representing a range of modern and historical views on authors and their works across regions, eras and genres.

This is a full-text archive of key academic journals in many disciplines, mostly in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Being an archive, it does NOT USUALLY have the current issues of these journals. Most journals have a “lag time” of 2-5 years.
