General Overview:
For reasearch beyond the elementary level there are almost no significant resources on-line for John Norris.

Little Bits:

Other Literary Clergy of Bemerton: (by the Parish of Bemerton; the page is 'other literary clergy' because the literary clergyman of Bemerton is George Herbert) brief summary of life; also gives his epitaph


Somewhat More Substantive:

The Poetic Nocturne: From Ancient Motif to Renaissance Genre (Chris Fitter): mostly on the genre in general, but makes use of some of Norris's poetry

John Norris and his Ideal World: From volume VIII of The Cambridge History of English and American Literature, a short description of Norris's theory of ideas

Philosophical and Theological Writings (Richard Acworth): From Thoemmes Press, an excellent general introduction to his thought

A Reconsideration of the Impetus for John Locke's Replies to John Norris of Bemerton (Heather Lawson): an article in the Journal of Undergraduate Research for the University Scholars Program at the University of Florida, considering the vexed issue of how much of the Locke-Norris dispute was motivated by personal quarrel
