One of the many subjects I enjoy studying is literary criticism. It helps me to find new ideas in interpreting literature and inspires me in my own writing.
There is a website called The Internet Public Library which provides an enormous number of links to various resources on the web. The site has a page called "Online Literary Criticism Guide" which will lead you to sources for the study of literature that you might not discover on your own. You will find sites geared to specific areas of literature. There is biographical information as well as literary criticism.
It is interesting to read how others view a particular author's writing. You will also learn where a piece of writing falls short or succeeds well in what it tries to accomplish and this can help you with your own writing. You will also find yourself inspired to try writing in a particular genre or about a particular subject as you read about those things in essays on criticism.
Give it a whirl!
