If you are exploring a research topic for the modernism unit and don’t know where to start in your secondary reading, it is a good general rule of thumb to begin by seeing if there is a relevant essay in one of the Cambridge Companions. These essays provide excellent introductions to areas of a particular author’s work or to particular movements, and also contain useful bibliographical information. The university library has a subscription to the companions, so you can search and view the entire range electronically. Just go to the Cambridge Companions under the “databases” link from the library landing page.
