Prelims Paper 4 - Literature in English 1910-Present: Introduction

This guide is intended as a quick introduction to some of the key online resources available via SOLO and Databases A-Z, as well as some freely available web resources.

Why use online resources?

• They are available to use wherever you can access the internet
• They provide powerful search tools enabling fast searching of texts for terms or themes you want to explore
• They provide effective tools to help with textual analysis.

Databases can help you locate references to books and journal articles on a particular topic, as well as providing electronic access to literary and non-literary texts. You can print, download or email information retrieved from most of these.

• Search for books & articles on SOLO
• Browse for online resources via Databases A-Z

For access to the majority of resources covered in this guide, go to the English section of the subject list on Databases A-Z. You will also find useful resources in the Linguistics, Newspapers, and History sections.
