–A nifty, accurate guide to literary theory from Purdue U: https://www.cla.purdue.edu/english/theory/

–Also from Purdue, their online summary of the MLA style guide: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/11/  (be sure to double check, for ex., all the citations listed in the bibliography; they were copied from the databases where I found the articles, and many of them are not actually completed acc. to current MLA guidelines.)
