MLA International Bibliography

The MLA International Bibliography helps you locate published scholarly works on topics related to literature criticism and theory, as well as linguistics and language.

Keyword: English or not?

When searching the MLA Bibiography, generally DO NOT use keywords in the target language, because MLA's indexing is in English-only.

The exception is for the title of a work of literature in its original language.

Language Limits in MLA

MLA covers material in many languages. If you want to limit your search to materials written in a particular language, go to the Advanced Search screen, scroll down, and look for the Language limits.
