Further searching tips

Some tips

If you are looking for a review from a specific periodical you can include that within your search by choosing to search within Publication Type.

You can also search for specific texts rather than reviews, e.g. those that were serialised within publication such as “The Woman in White”. In this case, do not choose ‘Review’ as the publication type.
