Literature Online (LION) is one of the best resources for literary research in English and American literature. It includes scholarly, peer-reviewed articles, full-text primary sources, media, book reviews, and more.
- LION has a strong emphasis in literature and literary criticism from the U.K..
- There is a lot of overlap with MLA, but LION has unique content that MLA does not include
- Because LION also includes primary sources (e.g.the full text of Shakespeare's plays) and reference works (e.g. Encyclopedia of Shakespeare) you will retrieve a vast number of search results. Use the filters in the left margin to limit to scholarly articles.
- Click "Criticism" and "Peer reviewed"
- Once you have your results, scroll down to the Document Type dropdown menu in the left margin and choose "Article."
