Critical articles can be located using the indexes outlined in Article Indexes. Search Omni with your author as subject to locate books about a person. If there are many to choose from, prefer those with the subject "Criticism and interpretation". Also look for books that analyse a single work by looking for the title of the work in the subject headings. There are also many books that provide full-length critical essays or excerpts of criticism on an author or work.
The excerpts include source information so the original articles can be located. A selected list from the Reference Collection follows.
