Problem of Shakespeare

The Annotated Bibliography assignment asks you to conduct research on some area or problem of Shakespeare/ early modern studies that interests you. The research that you are doing for the annotated bibliography should be on sources that you will use in Essay 2.  This annotated bibliography will consist of five sources. Use the FSU library (library collection of books and ebooks, JSTOR, Literature Resource Center, and MLA International Bibliography) to find sources. Google Books and Google Scholar can also be useful, but these tend to access previews, rather than full text sources. Please do not use sources accessed any other way.  For each entry, do the following: 1. Cite the source correctly in MLA format.  2. Describe the approach (or approaches) to literary criticism that the writers seem to take. How do you know this?  3. Describe the main claim made in the source. In complex arguments, explaining this idea may take some space.  4. Explain how the sources uses one or more of Shakespeare’s plays (and/or some other early modern primary source).  One effective way to find sources is to read the footnotes and citations of material that you have already read. I would like you to do this for at least one of the sources that you include in the annotated bibliography. In other words, we have read a few critical essays and we have seen that these essays make use of a dense web of additional sources. Find and read one of these sources. Include it in your annotated bibliography so that you can incorporate it into your final essay. Make sure to indicate which source you mined from one of our critical essays–identify the essay where you found it.
