e.g. Searching for Campbell, John. "Voltaire's 'Racine': The Paradoxes of a Transformation" Modern Language Review , (104:4), 962-975. (2009)
Search by journal title There will often be more than
“View all…” to see them
The electronic version will have a View Online option The print version will have a Find & Request option
Check the date coverage beneath each database and compare this to the publication date in the article citation on your reading list.
