Hi there. I'm writing my AS level coursework for English Literature at the moment and need a bit of help.

I need to include quotations from Feminist, Marxist, Structuralist etc. critics and apply it to two novels I'm comparing (out of interest, they're "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" by Hamid and "White Noise" by DeLillo, focusing on the impact of society on an individual).

I'm really struggling to find quotations, I've trolled the internet and my library but it just seems either all too general or just too much to look through.

So I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. Would it be better to try another library and look for books on Feminism and the like or can you recommend a website?

I don't want you to think I'm being lazy; I genuinely have been looking for ages and just can't find the right thing and hoping some of you guys could help.

Just to confirm, I'm looking for literary critics, not just general Feminism etc.

Thanks in advance :D

Yeah you need a decent library really, you need to dig around. Generally speaking I'd avoid the internet unless you have access to scholarly sites like JSTOR, but I doubt you'd have that if it is for college work - sorry I can't be of more help but there you go. :)
