Dictionary of Literary Biography
Call Number: Ref. PN451 .D5 (Vols. 1-344)
ISBN: 0810311127
Each volume has a different specific scope (examples being v1 “the American Renaissance in New England” through v344 “Nineteenth-Century British Dramatists”), and each book focuses on the writers from the specified genre or era and arranges the entries alphabetically. In depth encyclopedia-like entries provide the birth date, death date, list of writings, biography, deeper exploration into key writings, and bibliography of further sources and criticisms.

Because each volume has such a narrow scope, the authors' writings are placed within a broader, historical and international perspective – individual authors contribute writings to the wealth of works written throughout history. For that reason alone the source is helpful as you begin a research paper. Additionally, this source gives great biographical information, an analysis of key works that one might use in a research paper, and further references for researchers.
