List of Locations for Literary Criticism Online

I was pleased to learn, through an e-mail I recently received, about an interesting article that had escaped my attention up until now: the editors at the Online University website name “One Poet’s Notes” among their list of “50 Places to Find Literary Criticism Online.” Indeed, it is an honor to be included alongside many blogs or web pages that I admire, such as Publisher’s Weekly, The New York Review of Books, The New York Times blog: “Paper Cuts,” The New Republic’s “The Book,” Powell’s Books blog, Maud Newton, as well as a number of other online locations regularly reporting about writers and reviewing works of literature.

I appreciate the range of subjects and array of viewpoints represented in the sources on the list. As the article explains: “Without exposure to the myriad philosophies associated with the multifaceted field of literary criticism—which includes, but is not limited to, politics, art, culture, psychology, history, sociology, economics, and many other topics—an English student or bibliophile will never fully understand a work of literature.” I recommend readers visit the Online University site to browse through the book reviews, literary criticism, biographical information about authors, and entertaining or educational essays available at the various links displayed there.
