New Database Trials

Writing about web page http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/library/main/electronicresources/trials/

The University is running a number of trial databases. Please feel free to explore and email Steve Barber with any thoughts or suggestions. Titles include Caribbean Literature and Latino Literature.

Caribbean Literature is a searchable collection of poetry and fiction produced in the region during the 19th and 20th centuries. Among the titles selected by our editors are numerous rare and hard-to-find works written in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, and various Creole languages. Future releases will also feature journals, reference works, and interviews with key writers.

Latino Literature brings together more than 100,000 pages of poetry, fiction, and drama written in English and Spanish by hundreds of Chicano, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and other Latin authors working in the United States. Among the gems of the collection are nearly 800 items (poems, novels, and plays) that have never been published before.
