Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information

Gale is pleased to offer the Scribner Writers Series online. The database is available as an independent resource or it can be integrated with the Literature Resource Center as an add-as an add-on module. Drawing much of its content from the Scribner Writers Series CD-ROM, the database comprises approximately 1,600 original biocritical essays written and signed by noted scholars.

Many authors in the series are seen from multiple perspectives through two, three or sometimes four essays - a broad biocritical overview (as one might expect in the American Writers volume) as well as specialized treatments from literary genre- or movement-specific coverage. Students will find the informative essays in this database essential for understanding literary works, genres and authors from all over the world.

Each entry averages five pages in length and includes a concise essay, hyperlinks for cross-referencing, a citation and biographical information that places the author's work in personal and historical context. Because the series is designed to work the way students conduct research, it is an ideal starting point for research papers on literary works and figures, special projects and presentations. Students can go directly to an entry on a specific author, combine search criteria for a much more complex search, or explore thematic and chronological topics to make connections among writers.
