Putting it all Together
• An Annotation needs the following three
things
– Citation (MLA format)
– Summary
– Evaluation
An Example Annotation
Brammall, Kathryn M. “Monstrous Metamorphosis: Nature, Morality, and the Rhetoric
of Monstrosity in Tudor England.” Sixteenth Century Journal 27.1 (1996): 3-21. MLA
International
Bibliography. EBSCOhost. University of Northern Colorado,
Michener Lib. Web. 30 March
2006. Brammall discusses monstrosity in terms
of physical deformity and “misbirths” and what this type of monstrosity means for
Tudor England. After a long investigation of birth defects and
physical
deformities in humans and animals as a sign of God’s displeasure with Englishmen,
Brammall looks at how authors used the fear of physical defect to create “a
language capable of
terrifying sinners into repentance […] with some slight
modifications and a shift in emphasis, the
language of monstrosity could be
applied to the inwardly, rather than [to] the physically
deformed” (5-6). The most
interesting part of Brammall’s argument is her exemplification of how
John
Knox “employed the vitriolic rhetoric of monstrosity in a notorious invective against
women” (19), specifically the women rulers of the time and their inward
monstrosity rather than
any physical deformity. Brammall has written extensively
in the field of Tudor English Literature, including two full-length texts Medusa and
Shakespeare as well as Queen Elizabeth: A Monster in
the Making, or a
Made/Maid Monster. Her extensive knowledge in this field of study legitimates
her argument about monstrosity in Tudor England. Brammall has also been
used as an expert by
various other scholars, such as Eeichi Hara and Gloria
Platzner. Published in 1996 in Sixteenth
Century Journal, Brammall’s
argument is relatively new to Renaissance studies, making it exciting to look at
closely. Brammall’s article will help strengthen the claim I want to make about Alice
Another Example Annotation
Breen, John M. “The Carnival Body in Arden of Faversham.” Cahiers 45 (1994): 1320. MLA International
Bibliography. EBSCOhost. University of Northern
Colorado, Michener Lib. Web. 4 April 2006. In exploring the struggles over land
ownership in Arden of Faversham, John Breen also investigates
“the play’s
carnival impulses and the treatment of bodies as sites on which converging and
conflicting social forces impact” (13), suggesting also that Alice is
just such a site as are Arden’s
lands. Breen argues that Arden of Faversham is
a play about displacement, specifically the
displacement within the social
structure. For example, Breen highlights that Alice is displaced
from her noble
birth status and that Arden’s sexual drive is displaced. With all of the displacement of
people in the play, many characters are marginalized such as Black Will,
Shakebag, Greene, and Reede. Breen suggests “Arden’s murder may be
interpreted as a
momentary success for the marginalized and the dispossessed
against the corporate body of the
state” (18). Breen intelligently ends his
argument explaining that the negotiation of power within a newly developing social
system makes itself materially present with the murder of Arden and
the
violence done to his body. Breen is a noted expert in the literary landscape, specifically
literature pertinent to Renaissance and Romanticism in regards to
displacement and colonialism. Breen uses much literary theory to support his
argument about Alice Arden being
socially displaced, including Homi Bhaba’s
ideas concerning displacement and postcolonialism. With this theoretical
connection, Breen’s article could possibly be used to support
the idea of
woman as colonized, which would reinforce the idea of matrifocal religions being
Your turn
• Take the first article that you brought to class
and, using OWL, create a correct citation.
• Now offer a concise summary of the article.
• Finally, evaluate the source using the 3Rs as a
guide. Be sure you offer the reliability of the
source, the relevancy to your line of
inquiry/how you plan to use it, and also what
perspective/stakeholder position this source
offers.
