  1. Annotated Bibliography MLA 2009

  2. What is an annotated bibliography? • An annotated bibliography offers the full citation of sources as well as two additional pieces of important information: • A short summary of the source • What is its argument? What information does it cover? • What is its angle/bias/lens? • A short evaluation of the source • How might it help your paper?

  3. Your Requirements for Tuesday • **Don’t forget that you need a thesis!** • Remember: Your thesis should name your poet, your poems, present an argumentative focus, and the significance of that argument. • (Sure you’ve identified dark imagery related to death, but why should we care?) • At least five sources • Three must be NON-websites • Annotations should be 3-5 sentences

  4. Example Montgomery, Nick. “Colonial Rhetoric and the Maternal Voice: Deconstruction and Disengagement in Virginia Woolf’s The Voyage Out.” Twentieth Century Literature. 46.1 (Spring 2000) 34-56. With an awareness of psychoanalysis, deconstruction, post- colonial, and feminist theories, Montgomery analyzes Rachel’s “voyage out” as a journey away from the masculine rhetoric of patriarchy and imperialism to a more feminine level of discourse. Montgomery emphasizes the difference between masculine, or symbolic discourse, and feminine, or semiotic discourse, conceding that, while both are necessary, at the moments of heightened connection in The Voyage Out, semiotic discourse is most prevalent. As I argue that language cannot adequately capture “moments of being,” I will point to Montgomery’s work, which suggests the failure of symbolic discourse, or language, during blissful moments of solidarity.
