It is convenient to keep in mind the historical panoramas: the systematic one of M. de Riquer, A.Comas & J. Molas, Història de la literatura catalana (Barcelona, Ariel), which often offers summaries of the most relevant works, the information accumulated by Jordi Rubió i Balaguer, especially the volumes I-VIII of the Obres by Jordi Rubió i Balaguer and the Índexs (Barcelona, Publicacions de l’Abadia de Montserrat, 1984 -2004), as well as the Panorama crític de la literatura catalana directed by Albert Rossich (Barcelona, Vicens Vives, 2009-2011, 6 vols.). There are many cultural and literary syntheses that are very useful such us Pere Gabriel (dir.), Història de la cultura catalana(Barcelona, Edicions 62, 1994-1999), and dictionaries of authors such as the Nou diccionari de la literatura catalana (Barcelona, Edicions 62, 2000) and the Diccionari de la literatura catalana (Barcelona, Enciclopèdia Catalana, 2008). You can also consult the three volumes, directed by Lola Badia, of the Història de la literatura catalana. Literatura medieval (Barcelona, Enciclopèdia Catalana/Barcino /Ajuntament de Barcelona, 2013-2015) and, from the same work, volumes IV (Literatura moderna. Renaixement, Barroc i Il·lustració, Barcelona, 2016, directed by Josep Solervicens) and V (Literatura contemporània. El Vuit-cents, directed by Enric Cassany and Josep M. Domingo).
