3.  I am taking an English 1102 class, and I have to find peer-reviewed, scholarly journal articles that are criticisms of William Faulkner’s novel, “Sanctuary.”  I’ve been told that MLA International Bibliography in GALILEO is a good place to look.  Using that database, how many full-text articles can I find on the aforementioned topic?
