Ramadan

August is the sacred Muslim month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic year, set aside for fasting. If you're searching for additional information on this topic, Oxford Reference Online is a great source. Start by checking out The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions or The Oxford Dictionary of Islam.

Literature Notebooks Online

The Literature Notebooks online format has been updated. The universe of included sources has been greatly expanded. In addition to the reference sources of the previous versions, we now have links to hundreds of full-length (non-reference) books (many with multiple links to indiviidual sections & chapters). For example, almost all of our various Harold Bloom series are now included in the database. Plus lots of other regular books as well. There are now almost 7000 separate links.
