Now available on our eBook platform!

Gain access to more than 2,000 original and detailed bio-critical essays on the lives and works of more than 1,400 important authors from around the world. Now students, faculty and other researchers can access these literary references with flexibility and simplicity. Each entry averages 15-20 pages in length and includes a concise essay, hyperlinks for cross-referencing, a citation and biographical information that places the author's work in personal and historical context. Many authors in the Scribner Writers Series are seen from multiple perspectives through two, three or sometimes four essays. The series is designed to work the way students conduct literary research, therefore, students can go directly to an entry on a specific author, combine search criteria for a much more complex search, or explore thematic and chronological topics to make connections among writers.

"A standard reference tool for biocritical information, this gives students a very respectable way to launch a research project...This may also me integrated into Gale's Literature Resource Center as an add-on."
-- School Library Journal (November 2001)
