Sula
http://www.luminarium.org/contemporary/tonimorrison/sula.htm
This page from a fan site duplicates the back cover of the novel and provides links to a prize-winning student essay, a fall 2000 article in African American Review,  and some student work.  Note: the link to a New York Times book review is no good (it goes to an e-bay auction item).

Sula: A Modern Folktale
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~mcarden/105-2.htm
A book review of Sula by Michael Carden.  This is page is part of Iowa State University’s Public Homepage domain, and Carden’s review was written in 1997. He was probably a student or instructor at Iowa State, the web page does not make that clear.

Toni Morrison: "Sula"
http://www.az.com/~andrade/morrison/sula.html
Part of a homepage by "Andrade" (the only name given). She briefly analyzes a few key words in Sula: Beauty, War, Abandonment, and Love. There is not much to it, but could be helpful if you're focusing on one of the words for analysis, or a paper.

The Fray: Identity in "Sula"]
http://www.thefray.com/literature/identity.html
An essay by Yuri Yurichuk called "Two Selves: The Search for Identity in Sula posted on a site called The Fray that invites people to submit essays on literary topics.  The Fray appears to be a "fan site" for literature.  The essay on Sula cites no authorities other than a Morrison interview that is not attributed to a source.
