Critical Analysis of  Shirley Jackson's The Lottery

There are a number of databases accessible from the library homepage that will have a good selection of literary criticism on Shirley Jackson's The Lottery.

Click on the links below and enter The Lottery and the author's name. If you only enter The Lottery, you will probably get a lot of irrelevant documents.

Look out for book reviews. You don't want book reviews, you want actual articles discussing the work.
