The Internet Public Library Online Literary Criticism Collection

http://www.ipl.org/div/litcrit

After looking over this website, I found the set up of the page very helpful for reseach. The site organizes authors by both the last name and the period. The period are broken down into different cultures and acknowledged groups or writing. That is just the homepage; on the left-hand margin, there is a bevy of subjects and collections to search through. It is impressive how broad the choices of topics are and yet the search columns and links are simplified and specific.

Has a link devoted to each sisters’ work, it will link you to their academic works, chronology, and other web sites decided to that specific sister or topic. There is not search, so you should have a good idea of what your looking for specifically.

There is an active discussion board. The Concordance link can be very useful; it’s a link that allows you to choose the author, their work and you can type in a line and it will find it in the text.
