Two Year's Work Databases
The W&L University Library now has online access to two important literature review resources in literary and cultural criticism: Year's Work in English Studies and its companion, Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory.
Both these Oxford University Press titles are excellent annual overviews of developments in a range of fields. The subject matter of the first title is mostly self-evident, including such subject areas as Old English Literature, the Victorian Period, and New Literatures.
But the latter title is much more multi-disciplinary, with coverage of such topics as Deconstruction, Feminisms, History and Historiography, Multiculturalism, Film Theory, and Irish Studies.
