Critical Confrontations: Literary Theories in Dialogue
I have two editions of this book, and both are filled with interesting stories and useful info on doing literary research. Yes, we have digital databases, but Altick emphasizes that research doesn't consist of just "lookin' stuff up" on the computer. Research involves focus and creativity and an ability to extract information from unlikely sources and use it to find more information. Altick shows researchers doing just that.
No book can keep up with the new research tools available. This book is probably more useful for graduate students than undergrads and certainly needs to be augmented by instruction by a reference librarian.
But it's fun to watch earlier researchers focus on some fascinating research questions, and I value Altick's enthusiasm.
