HISTORICAL, CRITICAL AND REFERENCE SOURCES

Sally Mitchell, Temple University

Note: This is a bibliography for a graduate course with a focus on research (especially in contemporary periodicals) and on women's fiction in the period from 1875-1900. The "Research Tools" section should be broadly applicable, but the sources listed in some other sections of the bibliography are more narrowly limited to the aims of the specific course.
