New: Cambridge Companions Online

Consortium Luxembourg is now offering access to Cambridge Companions Online.

Cambridge Companions are a series of authoritative guides, written by leading experts, offering lively, accessible introductions to major writers, artists, philosophers, topics, and periods.

The first two titles in the Companions series were the Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare and the Cambridge Companion to Chaucer, which were both published in 1986 and have since been updated with new editions. Now, over 600 titles have been published with the intention not only to offer a comprehensive overview of their chosen topic, but to display and provoke lively and controversial debate.

Cambridge Core hosts the online version of the printed series and includes over 600 Companion titles, over 4,000 essays, as well as bibliographies and further reading. It is fully searchable by author, title, topic, or theme.

The available collection includes the Cambridge Companions to Literature and Classics, Cambridge Companions to Philosophy, Religion and Culture as well as the Companions to Music.

Access is available for all users with a valid library card of the National Library, the University of Luxembourg, LIH or LIST.

All Companions can be found here.
