Language and Literature

  MLA International Bibliography, subscription database.
The tides of globalization are beginning to be felt in the language and literature that form the warp threads over which the weft of society and culture are woven.  The MLA International Bibliography, flagship index of the Modern Language Association, identifies journal articles, books and dissertations which document this most basic evidence of globalization in the world's culture. Electronic start date for this index is 1963.  Database provides1.5 million citations from some 4,400 journals and series and 1,000 book publishers. Subjects include literature, language, linguistics, composition, dramatic arts, folklore, rhetoric, literary theory and criticism, historical aspects of printing and publishing, and the teaching of language and literature.  Globalization with a "z" is the usual form for the Descriptor or subject field  Time coverage spans the Western Middle Ages to the present.

The MLA Bibliography is an index database which does not include full text; however, it does include SFX links to facilitate finding the actual items
