After you've performed a search in Gale Literary Sources, click on Topic & Work Overviews to get resources that can help you understand your author's work or works.
Plot summaries can be very helpful in helping you understand the work. In Literary Reference Center you can browse a list of the most studied authors or most studied works. Once you click on your work you'll retrieve a page that has links to plot summaries, literary criticism, in many cases the full text classic, and more about the work. If your work is not there, look under All Works under the same Browse list on the home page.
