This new Scarecrow Press series will address the research needs of scholars studying specific British and American literary periods, as well as other national literatures in English. Emphasizing research methodology, each series volume will outline the best practices for the research process, with attention to the unique challenges inherent in conducting research of the specific national literature and/or literary period. Volumes will place the research process within the period’s historical context and will use a narrative structure to analyze and compare print and electronic reference sources for graduate students, faculty teaching outside their area of specialization, librarians, and independent scholars.
