Guidelines for Contributors

Contributors to Volumes

Each contributed essay should be a maximum of 6,000 words.

Each essay will need to be consistent with the overall theme of the volume and more specifically with the section of the volume in which it will be included.

Essays submitted should not be previously published, nor under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Contributors of essays are asked to observe the following basic guidelines:

  • SPACING: All text, including quotations and notes, should be double-spaced throughout.
  • QUOTATIONS: Following American convention, please reserve single quotation marks for quotations within quotations. For example: "For a long time Parisians ‘relieved themselves under a row of yews’ in the Tuileries; driven from there by the Swiss guards, they betook themselves to the banks of the Seine, which ‘is equally revolting to eye and nose’ (SEL 3).
  • LANGUAGE OF QUOTES: Quotations should be given in English, unless a specific translation issue is in question. Authors are responsible for checking all quotations and supplying complete references.
  • BOOK TITLES, ETC: Italicize all book titles, foreign terms, sections denoting author’s emphasis, and text title abbreviations. Do not use underlines.
  • ENDNOTES: All notes should be endnotes. They should be included in a separate disk file (see below). Endnote only the first citation of a source. For repeating citations thereafter use a parenthetical reference in the main body of the text (see next item).
  • REPEATING CITATIONS: For any repeating citations to the same text (even with different pages) , the first endnote should contain all detail. The final sentence should read: "Henceforth cited as [give an abbreviation for the reference]." Every subsequent reference should be included in the main body of the text, given in parentheses followed by the page number(s). No comma between abbreviation and page number. Example: (SEL 3). Do not use "Ibid." or "Op. Cit."
  • CITATION STYLE: Initial citations should correspond to the following examples. Please give English-version, standard edition references wherever possible:
