You can gain access to it through universities, colleges or libraries. It
has 300 000 out-of-copyright texts, biographical and
bibliographical information for every author (including copyrighted
ones), useful links for each, encyclopedia and anthology entires, but
most importantly, it has journal articles, ie. essays, on the texts.
If you search for Ernest Hemingway then look at the criticism
section, you'll find thousands of scholarly/critical articles on his
work. It's like a dream come true!

The subscriptions are for higher learning institutions (universites,
collegies etc) and public libraries. If you go to a university there's
good chance they are subscribed, in which case you just need an
"Athens" password which the university will give. If you're not a
student or lecturer, you might have some luck at a big public library.
I did a search for criticism entries on various authors
Faulkner - 5000 or so
Hemingway - 4000 or so
Fitzgerlad - only 1000
I think that's a comprehensive list of all journal articles going back to
the 50s at least (though it tends to be only the 90s or later where
you can actually read the articles
