New titles from Cambridge Histories Online
Cambridge Histories, with over 100 years of content and 350+ volumes, is a series of continually updated reference works covering a broad range of subjects across the humanities and social sciences. Cambridge University Press intended the series to cover all of human history with concentrations in political and cultural history, literature, philosophy, religious studies, music, and the arts. Each volume includes authoritative narrative accounts by specialists and extensive bibliographies. Some histories are individual volumes, while others are part of multi-volume series (eg. History of Violence). The search interface is simple and straightforward, the text is fully searchable and books or book chapters can be linked directly from Sakai. Downloading of individual chapters is permitted.
New 2021 titles include: The Cambridge History of the Kurds and The Cambridge History of Terrorism.

New Resource: Times Literary Supplement (TLS) Historical Archive
The Brock Library is pleased to announce new online access to the Times Literary Supplement (TLS) Historical Archive (1902-2014). The Times Literary Supplement (TLS) is one of the most esteemed and essential publications for those who love to discover new literary works and explore lively discussions on diverse topics. Beginning in 1902 as a supplement to the Times (London) newspaper, the TLS publishes reviews, poetry and prose, as well as timely essays. In addition to introducing readers to literary works and ideas, the TLS provides a window into contemporary issues and discussions.
Researchers can find reviews of major literary works such as Andrew Lang’s 1902 review of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles). Individual poems and book extracts are also included, as in this Ted Hughes poem, published in 1960.
