Each volume of Novels for Students contains easily accessible and content-rich discussions of the literary and historical background of 12 to 15 works from various cultures and time periods. Each novel included in this new resource was specially chosen by an advisory panel of teachers and librarians -- experts who have helped us define the information needs of students and ensure the age-appropriateness of this reference's content. 

Each volume (beginning with volume 32) will include two "Literature to Film" entries. Entries profiling film versions of plays/novels not only diversify the study of plays/novels but support alternate learning styles, media literacy, and film studies curricula as well. 

Here are some of the novels they will find - "Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress" by Dai Sijie; "The Cruel Sea" by Nicholas Mosarrat; "The Grapes of Wrath" film entry; "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett; "The Moonstone" by Wilkie Collins; "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry; and "Oryx and Crake" by Margaret Atwood.

The clear writing style, thorough coverage of each novel, excellent organization of guides and attractive, easy-to-read layouts all serve to make this a welcome source for students needing to do literary research.  The organization, writing style that is appropriate for students and content that is geared to meet curricular needs are features that make Novels for Students a series that will be welcome in libraries serving youth.  -- ARBA (American Reference Books Annual) 1999

These well-written entries contain a wealth of information.  Broad in scope and scholarly in approach, these two volumes contain an amazing amount of well-organized information.  This would be an excellent addition to high school, college, and public libraries, and an excellent source of literary criticism for researchers and teachers.   -- VOYA  (June 1998)

I turned to the entry in Novels for Students and voila, I was saved.  What a wonderful, rich repository of background information and teaching ideas.  Thank you thank you thank you. -- Carol Jago, Teacher at Santa Monica High School and Director of the California Reading and Literature Project at UCLA.

No other literature references provides such a high level of coverage ...written with an unassuming tone that students will welcome.  -- Southeast Regional Social Studies Conference Web Site (January 1998)

Helps high school students understand ... novels frequently studied in literature courses.  Students can find everything they need to complete homework assignments and lead classroom discussions.   -- Curriculum Administrator  (January 1998)

Provide(s) students with easy access to information about novels.  -- School Library Journal  (August 1998)

Provides fine overviews for each novel covered. It looks like Gale has come up with another set which is sure to be popular and useful.  These essays offer students an excellent starting point and give them a solid grounding for further exploration.   -- Against the Grain  (Dec. '97/Jan. 98)

Covers specific titles in depth, which is a big plus for high-school students.  Would be an asset in high-school and public libraries.   -- RBB/Booklist  (02/15/98)

A good investment for any library.  Recommended.   -- Book Report (October 1999)
