An annotated is a list of citations of books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150-200 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. Annotations are descriptive and critical; they expose the authors point of view, clarity and appropriateness of expression, and authority. First make a list of book,s periodicals, and documents that might be relevant to your topic. Briefly examine and and review the actual items. Then choose a set of works that will provide a variety of perspectives on your topic. Your bibliography should include at least 4 items, and at least two of these should be critical works on your topic (do not include your primary texts in your bibliographic list). Cite the book, article, or document using MLA style. See the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book chapter or article. Note the critical perspective of the author (Adams provides a feminist account of the poem; Smith provides a historical context for the novel, focusing on Victorian labor conditions) and, if appropriate, comment on the power of this perspective to illuminate your topic. If the authors style or mode of argumentation. If the authors style or mode of argumentation is striking, explore the significance of that fact (e/g/ Davis mimics the playfulness of the poem he treats). Include a few sentences of your own evaluation of the argument. Your finished bibliography will thus consist of 4 or more citations followed by annotations, and should be between 4 and 8 double-spaced pages. Be sure to double-check your writing for precision, clarity, and grace. This annotation will be added from the 5 page essay you wrote Murdering the Innocence by Charles Dickens, to finish off the 15 page dissertation in the future.
