Does Literature Online Reference Edition contain resources for non-English-language authors?
Yes. Many of the resources in Literature Online Reference Edition are focused on British, American and post-colonial literatures in English: for example, ABELL is a specialist resource that is primarily devoted to English-language authors. However, the service also includes significant resources for authors writing in languages other than English: we include biographies for authors who are frequently studied in translation, such as Kafka, Ibsen and Dostoevsky; non-English-language authors are extensively covered in the Reference section in works such as the Columbia Encyclopedia of Modern European Literature and the Encyclopedia of the Novel; our full-text journals also include extensive material about non-English-language authors. We have created Author Records for all authors for whom we have full-text secondary resources, regardless of the language in which they write, and our author database now contains records for authors of over 100 different nationalities.
