For those students who have a craving to learn more about a particular genre, period, theme, or literary figure, the web sites below should help you explore further! However, before just "jumping in," we recommend that you first check out the electronic resources available to you through the University of St. Thomas library system. These library resources are not only helpful in tracking down particular academic essays, but in some cases, they even pull up the full text of the essay itself. Also, don't hesitate to contact one of the reference librarians for assistance--they are happy to help! If you are a graduate English student and desire a lengthy reference consultation or tutorial, please contact Talia Nadir, the library liason for English, for an appointment.
