Title: Critical Articles for your Lit Text
Post by: Eriny on October 21, 2008, 10:18:58 am: On the Literature Exam thread I offered to upload critical journal articles related to whatever Lit texts your studying to whoever would like some more sources. If you have a request, post it here and then I'll post relevant articles. I probably won't read the articles (because otherwise I'll have no time!), so I'll have no idea how difficult they'll be to read. Also, I can't guarantee that there'll be much (or anything at all) on your text. King Lear, for instance, will probably have heaps of stuff whereas I found out last year that all that was really available on Sugar and Other Stories were book reviews (which can be helpful too!).

I'll also warn you that if you read a critical source, the writing will almost certainly be better than yours. This is not meant to scare you or to show you what you should be arguing. Before you look at any source, it's really important that you have your own opinions about what you think the text is all about and then read articles while you maintain the point of view. See if the articles can help you with providing evidence for your view or for you to extend your view, but don't give up your own view! Literature assessors want to see your work. They also aren't expecting that your pieces read like a journal article, especially since you only have 2 hours to write them and journal articles are written over a long period of time and are highly edited by many different people.

tl;dr: If you want lit sources, just ask.

Much appreciated if there is anything.

Hey, that's by Stillinger!
We used his argument/viewpoint in some book in one of our sacs.
I think (emphasis on the think) his argument was something about the movement from the ordinary world into an ideal world, and it was all about yearning, opposing worlds and disappointment/deception. Or maybe I just smooshed his viewpoint with mine. Meh.

Thanks :)

Title: Re: Critical Articles for your Lit Text
Post by: Eriny on October 22, 2008, 12:09:20 pm: There was hardly anything on The Hamilton Case, but I got what I could.
Title: Re: Critical Articles for your Lit Text
Post by: Eriny on October 22, 2008, 12:26:43 pm: I haven't been able to find anything on This Boy's Life, sorry.

Although it is on SparkNotes, if that's any help:
http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/thisboyslife/

It's actually really surprising that I couldn't find anything apart from really really short book reviews (like ~100 words).

It's so difficult to find things that are not about the film, and this one talks about the film anyway!

Post by: Eriny on September 24, 2009, 03:32:23 pm: I don't have access to UoM's SuperSearch dealie anymore (it's really cool - it searches all the best databases all at once), but Google Scholar is pretty good. It you see an article you like the look of but can't access, just post the citation up here and I'll get it for you. Otherwise, unfortunately, it's too much work. Or you can ask someone from UoM to find stuff for you.
