Gothic Fiction
Wolfhowls:
Ok here's the deal I'm doing a research paper on Gothic Fition on Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" story and Charlotte Perkins Gilmans "The Yellow Wallpaper". The kicker the paper is due on Tuesday, yes the up coming Tuesday, and I am having a hell of a time finding online resources. So I reach out to you oh great and wonderful fans of the Butcher Board. Help me find some online resources. The only one I can't use is the dreaded Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a no-go and my professor will crush me if I even think of using that web site.
So....here what I'm suppose to do. Select 2-3 stories/poems/eassys(by the same authors or different authors) to examine in relation to the topic. Support my thesis concerning this topic with your own ideas/explanations,examples from stories, and literary criticism.
Help!!

Poe had other stories that feel more Gothic than The Tell-Tale Heart, like The Pit and the Pendulum. I don't think I've read anything by Gilmans. Why are you doing your research online, instead of in a library, where you can get the full text of critical revews?
The Internet is handy for lots of stuff, but not so much for literary criticism.

Then I'd probably start with the Internet Public Library, http://www.ipl.org.ar/cgi-bin/ref/litcrit/litcrit.out.pl?au=poe-10
And if it was me, I'd be working on it now, instead of hanging around here. :D

While you may not be able to use Wikipedia as a resource, it might still be helpful. My job is the same way, I can't use it to verify information, but if I'm having trouble finding something, I'll go to Wikipedia, and then I'll scroll down to whatever external links the article has and see if any of them are viable for information. Just scrolling quickly through the Wiki entry on gothic fiction, it gives lots of references and links, and lots of other examples of gothic fiction, like Dracula, which might be enough for a jumping off point for what you need.
