Extractions: Welcome to Swedish Book Review on the web! SBR was launched in 1983. It publishes two main issues and a supplement every year. The main aim of SBR is to present Swedish literature to the English-speaking world. It carries translated extracts from the works of Swedish writers, often together with an introductory article. 2005:1 issue In issue 2005:1 we are pleased to present a wide range of material from some of our regular contributors through the years: urban "immigrant" fiction, crime fiction, new short stories, book fair reports, a very practical article about the impact of computers as translation tools, and the concluding part of the extended bibliography. Deservingly retired SBR editor Laurie Thompson pays tribute to another of our long-standing contributors, the late Göran Eriksson. We hope that the piece on Swedophile Italian publishing house Iperborea will be the first in a series from a number of countries.

At one point in his literary career, Bukowski was given the "Outsider of the Year Award." Biographer Cherkovski traces the poet's "outsider" status to early childhood, when children teased him about his German accent and called him "Heinie": "Heinie' followed him on up through the fourth grade." His parents were little comfort. Bukowski himself remarks, "I had some pretty terrible parents, and your parents are pretty much your world. That's all there is." ...[ More
Extractions: dbruster@lonestar.jpl.utsa.edu Bruster, Douglas. "Review of A Dictionary of Sexual Language and Imagery in Shakespearean and Stuart Literature. " Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/02-3/rev_bru1.html One of the most distinctive aspects of early modern literature is its interest in sex. Subtle but unmistakable references to sex and the erotic treatment of the body permeate works of this era. Yet because "indecent" allusion was often euphemized or presented in slang, modern readers are sometimes asked to translate, even decode, sexual language. For various reasons, the otherwise indispensable Oxford English Dictionary devotes less attention to bawdy terms and phrases than we might wish, leaving many readers to turn to more recent (and generally less available) dictionaries. Among these reference works are Eric Partridge's A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English and Shakespeare's Bawdy ; James T. Henke's

Extractions: Home FAQs News Writing Courses ... For Faculty Printable PDF Version Fair-Use Policy What is a review of the literature? Questions to Ask Yourself ... Final Notes A literature review is an account of what has been published on a topic by accredited scholars and researchers. Occasionally you will be asked to write one as a separate assignment (sometimes in the form of an annotated bibliography see the bottom of the next page), but more often it is part of the introduction to an essay, research report, or thesis. In writing the literature review, your purpose is to convey to your reader what knowledge and ideas have been established on a topic, and what their strengths and weaknesses are. As a piece of writing, the literature review must be defined by a guiding concept (e.g., your research objective, the problem or issue you are discussing, or your argumentative thesis). It is not just a descriptive list of the material available, or a set of summaries. Besides enlarging your knowledge about the topic, writing a literature review lets you gain and demonstrate skills in two areas:

A review of the literature is a classification and evaluation of what accredited scholars and researchers have written on a topic, organized according to a guiding concept such as your research objective, thesis, or the problem/issue you wish to address. Y our objective is not to rack up points by listing as many articles as possible rather, you want to demonstrate your intellectual ability to recognize relevant information , and to synthesize and evaluate it according to the guiding concept you have determined for yourself. Your reader not only wants to know what literature exists , but also your informed evaluation of the literature. To meet both of these needs, you must employ two sets of skills: information seeking : the ability to scan the literature efficiently using manual or computerized methods to identify a set of potentially useful articles and books. critical appraisal : the ability to apply principles of analysis to identify those studies which are unbiased and valid. Your readers want more just than a descriptive list of articles and books.

Extractions: 3. Definition and Use/Purpose 1. Introduction Not to be confused with a book review, a literature review surveys scholarly articles, books and other sources (e.g. dissertations, conference proceedings) relevant to a particular issue, area of research, or theory, providing a description, summary, and critical evaluation of each work. The purpose is to offer an overview of significant literature published on a topic. 2. Components Similar to primary research, development of the literature review requires four stages: Literature reviews should comprise the following elements: An overview of the subject, issue or theory under consideration, along with the objectives of the literature review Division of works under review into categories (e.g. those in support of a particular position, those against, and those offering alternative theses entirely) Explanation of how each work is similar to and how it varies from the others Conclusions as to which pieces are best considered in their argument, are most convincing of their opinions, and make the greatest contribution to the understanding and development of their area of research

Although you might think of novels and poetry when you hear the word "literature," for a piece of research the meaning is more specific. In terms of a literature review, "the literature" means the works you consulted in order to understand and investigate your research problem. How useful are the following sources? journal articles books conference proceedings government and corporate reports ... magazines Journal articles : these are good especially for up-to-date information. Bear in mind, though, that it can take up to two years to publish articles. They are frequently used in literature reviews because they offer a relatively concise, up-to-date format for research, and because all reputable journals are refereed (i.e. editors publish only the most relevant and reliable research). Books : books tend to be less up-to-date as it takes longer for a book to be published than for a journal article. Text books are unlikely to be useful for including in your literature review as they are intended for teaching, not for research, but they do offer a good starting point from which to find more detailed sources.
