Woolf's jealousy of Mansfield's mastery. Footnotes and Endnotes. In the MHRA system, references to sources used in your work are set out in full in notes, either at the bottom of each page (footnotes) or at the end of the piece of work (endnotes).

Footnotes and Endnotes

In a book-length piece, you should start a new series of notes (i.e. start numbering from 1) with each chapter. Every time the ideas, facts or opinions of another are used in a piece of work this must be acknowledged with a full reference. Whether a source is quoted directly or indirectly, paraphrased or summarised, it must be acknowledged with a footnote or endnote.

To do otherwise is plagiarism. Notes should include the minimum information necessary for a reader to find and consult your source. Notes should be numbered sequentially (1,2,3 etc).

Dalloway.” Photo by the author. One of the underrated pleasures of the internet is all the old stuff we can now read — goodies that 20 years ago you could read only by going to a major library and hunting. A few weeks back, someone or something pointed me to a sort of English major’s dream hiding within The New York Times of 21 September 1958: Eudora Welty reviewing Virginia Woolf reviewing other books. We get to see one highly original and lively mind peeking into the workings of another as that other peers into yet others.

Scholes on Hemingway, Conversation 11.28.95. MUD Log with James Phelan / Phillip Sipiora. Introduction: Fiction, Criticism, and the Ideological Mirror. 1The aim of this Hemingway special issue is not to represent the largest possible range of commentary on Hemingway’s short stories, but to look closely at their rich texture, considering them as coherent wholes and autonomous units that activate their own symbolical potentialities, and liberate under the careful gaze of the reader their poetic energies and ever surprising force of connotation.

Introduction: Fiction, Criticism, and the Ideological Mirror

Hence, the essays brought together in this volume value the textual dimension of Hemingway’s narratives, and eschew in varied degrees and manners the ideological background and the usually underlined alleged links with the reality “out there.” Close in spirit and method, they lay bare the poetic, plastic, fantasmatic matter at work in Hemingway’s short fiction, and minimize more or less radically the illusions of depth and the false mimetic knowledge of the author, in favor of the rich textual network and surface phenomena, overlooked more often than not by Hemingway’s commentators. 6 Jackson J.

Big Two-Hearted River Summary. The End of Something - AQA Anthology for GCSE. Introduction This guide is written for students and teachers who are preparing for GCSE exams in English literature.

The End of Something - AQA Anthology for GCSE

It contains a detailed study of Ernest Hemingway's The End of Something, one of the prose texts in the AQA Anthology, which is a set text for the AQA's GCSE syllabuses for English and English Literature Specification A, from the 2004 exam onwards. On this page I use bold red type for emphasis. Brown type is used where italics would appear in print (in this screen font, italic looks like this, and is unkind on most readers). Headings have their own hierarchical logic, too: Back to top. Cat in the Rain. Everybody knows cats hate water—so what do they do when it rains?

Cat in the Rain

Apparently, they shiver and cower in the driest place they can find. Must be pretty lonely. They just can't get a break. Hemingway first published "Cat in the Rain" in 1925 as part of a short story collection, In Our Time. He wrote it while living in Paris with his first wife, Hadley, but the story's setting in the small Italian town was clearly influenced by his time in Italy as a Red Cross worker during World War I. This story is a prime example of the clean, lean writing style that he was developing in this period. It's set in a hotel on the Italian coast and takes place on a rainy day as an American couple hangs out in their hotel room. Come to think of it, not that much happens, does it?

If you have ever known what it's like to feel something deeply, to want something very much, but not be able to name it…then you should care about this story. What Lies Beneath: The Iceberg Theory of Writing. “If a writer of prose knows enough about what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them.”

What Lies Beneath: The Iceberg Theory of Writing

I vividly remember my reaction the first time I read this famous quote by Ernest Hemingway. “Huh?” I said. I didn’t get it. Iceberg Theory. The Iceberg Theory (also known as the "theory of omission") is the writing style of American writer Ernest Hemingway.

Iceberg Theory

As a young journalist, Hemingway had to focus his newspaper reports on immediate events, with very little context or interpretation. When he became a writer of short stories, he retained this minimalistic style, focusing on surface elements without explicitly discussing underlying themes.
