The Classical Greek Reader by Kenneth J. Atchity (Editor); Rosemary McKenna (Editor)
Call Number: PA260 .C57 1998
ISBN: 0195123034
Publication Date: 1998-08-13
Scholarly commentary on the nuances of Greek writing fills library shelves, even entire libraries. Yet nothing can take the place of the documents themselves. The Classical Greek Reader marks an exciting departure from the traditional anthology approach to Greek literature and thought. By focusing not only on the big names but also on the less-familiar voices--the women, doctors, storytellers, herbalists, and romance writers--we are offered a glimpse of ancient Greece as we have rarely seen it.

Call Number: PN56.S5 H78 2009

Publication Date: 2009-03-30
From the time of Plato to the present day, human sexuality has been a central subject to the literary imagination. Human Sexuality explores the role of this important literary theme in Lolita, Madame Bovary, Oedipus Rex, Sons and Lovers, and many others. This new offering from the Bloom's Literary Themes series covers a topic often found in the high school curriculum, lending support for students of literature.
Gender, Sex and Sexuality by Margaret Sonser Breen (Editor)
Call Number: PN56.S5 G56 2014
ISBN: 9781619254039
Publication Date: 2014-08-13
So much of great literature centers on explorations of gender, sex, and sexuality. What does it mean to be a proper man or woman; what if one cannot be properly called either? Should one wield one's sexual power politically? What is the relation between law, divine or secular, and sexuality? These are just some of the questions that this volume examines through an analysis of a wide range of texts.

General Search Tips

Begin your research with an initial search in Primo, and then explore subject-specific databases for more targeted results.
Utilize Boolean search terms to enhance your search effectiveness: AND narrows results to those containing both search terms; OR expands results to include either search term (not necessarily both); and NOT eliminates results containing the specified term.
Commence with a general search, refining it to become more specific as needed. If you possess a basic understanding of your desired focus, search using a broad term and narrow it down based on available resources.
Examine the subject terms and keywords used in the articles you discover. If they appear relevant, consider incorporating them into your search terms. Should your results be too extensive, add supplementary search terms to refine your inquiry further.
To search for a specific phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. This ensures the search engine looks for the exact phrase, rather than each word individually. For instance, searching "To be or not to be" will yield that precise phrase, rather than individual words.
To locate a word or phrase within an article PDF, e-book, or webpage, use the CTRL and F keys to open a search box that scans the text within a document. Remember to maintain a formal tone and employ an informative writing style in English throughout your research process.
