Database "Technical" Search Tips:
enclose a phrase in quotes, e.g.,   "as i lay dying"
the truncation (aka wildcard) symbol is *     Examples: racis* --> racism, racist, racists  /  psycho* --> psychoanalytic, psychological, etc.

Search Tips: here are some ways to make your search more comprehensive :

• When typing in a literary theory, consider whether or not truncation might be useful (e.g., feminis* -> feminism, feminist, feminists)
• In addition to using the approach, consider including any associated/related words or names of theorists.
  If you need more information on a theory, approach or literary critic, use the books listed in the "Literary Terms & Theory" page.
• Consider using variant spellings (e.g., post-colonial* ,  postcolonial*)
