Pathfinder
Howard College
SA Library
Literary criticism is the evaluation,
analysis, description, or
interpretation of literary works.
Criticism may examine a particular
literary work, or may look at an
author’s writings as a whole.
Finding literary criticisms can be a
challenge at times. This pathfinder
has been designed to assist students
in researching and writing a paper
that requires sources of literary
criticism both in print and
electronic formats.
