Think about what sorts of publications the information you need might be published in.
Biographical? Try Scribner Writers, Credo, monographic biographies, chapters in companions - or for primary material, published letters and diaries.
Contemporary public reactions? Search historical newspapers or databases focused on the 19th century - they cover early 20th century, too.

Tips for Using MLA International Bibliography
1. Take advantage of folders and the ability to export citations in MLA format
2. Set search limits before you begin searching
3. Try using Names as Subjects and add terms from critical vocabulary
4. Further refine your search by adding Subject Terms
....Cite articles from online databases (e.g. LexisNexis, ProQuest, JSTOR, ScienceDirect) and other subscription services as containers. Thus, provide the title of the database italicized before the DOI or URL. If a DOI is not provided, use the URL instead. Provide the date of access if you wish.
Formula for an article retrieved from a database on a Works Cited page:
Author. “Title of article.” Title of Journal, vol. #, no. #, year, pp. #-#. Database name, doi:#######/#######. [Accessed day month year. optional]
Example:
Alonso, Alvaro, and Julio A. Camargo. "Toxicity of Nitrite to Three Species of Freshwater Invertebrates." Environmental Toxicology,vol. 21, no. 1, 3 Feb. 2006, pp. 90-94. Wiley Online Library, doi: 10.1002/tox.20155.
