Annotated Bibliography by Bradley Rae

Bucknall,Barbara J. __Ursula K. Le Guin__. New York: Frederick Ungar Publishing Co, 1981, 1-13.

The book __Ursula K. Le Guin__ by Barbara J. Bucknall provides useful information about Ursula Le Guin's life. It also contains a in-depth chronology that was very useful for this project. The book also useful for this project.The book also has a summary on most of Le Guin's literature. I did not find these as useful for this current project.

Cummins, Elizabeth. __Understanding Ursula K. Le Guin__. Columbia: University of South Carolina Press, 1991.

The book __Understanding Ursula K. Le Guin__ by Elizabeth Cummins provides information about Le Guins life and how to understand her specific writing style. I found this to be very useful because understanding how and why a author uses a specific writing style lets me understand the author better than just reading a timeline about her life.

"Le Guin, Ursula K. (1929-)." Encyclopedia of World Biography. Ed. Terrie M. Rooney. Vol. 18. 2nd ed. Detriot: Gale Research, 1998. Student Resource Center-Gold. Gale. Fuquay Varina High School/WCPS/. 21 May. 2008. .

This database provides a little biographical essay that was somewhat useful because I received more information on her life by using the book above. The main reason I used this database was the information on her writing inspiration. The database provides alot of background on how her parents inspired her writing. The database also provides very useful information on Le Guin's themes in her novels and her award-winning career. I found almost all the information on this database to be very useful.

"Overview of Ursula K(roeber) Le guin." Discovering Authors. Online ed. Detriot: Gale, 2003. Student Resource Center-Gold. Gale. Fuquay Varina High School/WCPS/. 21 May. 2008. .

This database has information on Le Guin's life but mainly provides an overview of what critics classify Le Guin's writing. The database also provides information on how Le Guin started her career and it also gives good detail on Le Guin's wide variety of characters and settings. This entire database was very useful for this project. It provided enough detail on a wide range of topics to allow me to sufficiently learn about Ursula K. Le Guin.
