This brief bibliography lists some of the core reference works
available in Shepard Library which support research in English-language
literatures. To keep this guide workable, it highlights a basic
structure of literary study from general parameters to the narrowing
of a topic within the controlled vocabularies scholars use to
talk about their fields of expertise. The good news is that the
literature of literature studies is well controlled, with the
result that finding relevant material on the latest topic of inquiry
is rather easier than it is, for example, in a frontier field
such as women's studies.
If you would like advice at any point in a research project,
