E 328: The British Novel in the Nineteenth Century, Carol MacKay

The PCL's print collections are particularly strong for Victorian Literature.

You'll find early editions from the 19th century and more recent critical editions with helpful resources and top scholarship. You'll find letters, biographies, and more by and about these authors. Browsing physical libraries can be a fun and serendipitous experience! 

• What are "the stacks"? The stacks are the part of the library with the books and shelves!
• How do you browse? The PCL is organized by the Library of Congress cataloging system. The Library of Congress assigns each book a unique call number in a combination of letters and numbers.  Books by the same author and books about similar topics are shelved together within a call number range. 
  Once you identify the call number range for the author or topic you want to explore, you use the call numbers to identify the correct Floor and Floor Section in the PCL where you'll find these books.
• Need help navigating the PCL? Use the PCL Stacks Guide and Floor Maps. A digital version is available on the touch screens next to the elevators on each floor of the PCL.
• All the books and authors for this class are on the PCL 6th Floor, in section 6F. See below for specific call number ranges.
• Questions? Contact Gina or ask the staff at the PCL Check Out Desk for assistance.
