Motivation

[edit]

From the overview on its website, "First published in September 2000, The Literary Encyclopedia (Q7747554) provides 9539 articles about world literatures in English, amounting to 20 million words. It grows by 20-30 articles per month and is written and edited by university specialists who own the publication collectively." The encyclopedia publishes biographies of major and minor writers, as well as scholarly descriptions of all interesting texts written by these authors, and a variety of descriptive and critical essays on literary, cultural, and historical matters. Although this is a subscription-based resource, it makes some articles freely accessible each month (see examples 6-7, 9-10, and 12 above), and even the articles that are not fully accessible without a subscription include useful viewable information about works (e.g., dates, places, genres). There are currently 4717 descriptive-critical analyses of works. AdamSeattle (talk) 19:31, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
