For Internet searches, try entering author's name on any of the popular search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.). For literary criticisms, try "literary criticism" "author name" "full or partial name of work"

Suggested Example: "literary criticism" "wordsworth" "lonely as a cloud"

An author's official website or a website maintained by a publishing house, library, or college English department will be more trustworthy than one maintained by an anonymous source. Carefully evaluate a commercial website; most will have a link entitled "About..." which will provide credentials.
