  8. How to write about literary criticism You can also say: “We read a lot of scholarly essays on The Great Gatsby.” “There is a lot of scholarship about The Great Gatsby.” “In his essay on The Great Gatsby…” “I found a good essay on The Great Gatsby.” Literary criticism Refers generally to the practice of analyzing literature, OR to a large body of scholarly work analyzing literature. Examples: “I took a class on literary criticism.” “We read a lot of literary criticism on The Great Gatsby.” You can’t say “There are a lot of literary criticisms on The Great Gatsby.” “In his literary criticism of The Great Gatsby …” “I found a literary criticism on The Great Gatsby.”

  9. Italics, quotation marks, and titles • Titles of articles go in quotation marks. • Titles of books and plays are italicized. • Titles of academic journals are italicized. • When books and plays are in the title of an article, the title of the book or play is italicized inside the quotation marks.

  10. Examples The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne “The Scarlet Letter as Dialectic of Temperament and Idea” by Robert Stanton, published in American Literature. “Motivation in The Scarlet Letter” by Edward C. Sampson, published in College English.

  11. Journal titles vs. publisher You never need to say who publishes the journal. You only need to write the journal title, not the publishing organization.

  12. Precis vs. paper • When you write a precis, you must include the publication (i.e., the journal title), title, author, and date. • When you write a paper and quote or paraphrase, the MOST information you should give is the author and title. You really don’t even need to say that, since it’s on the Works Cited page. • You never need to write the publishing organization anywhere.
