General
Seventeenth-Century French Studies welcomes original contributions that match the aims and scope of the journal on the understanding that their contents have not previously been published or are currently submitted for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be sent to independent referees. It is a condition of publication that papers become the copyright of the Society for Seventeenth-Century French Studies. All editorial correspondence and contributions should be sent to: Dr Amy Wygant (A.Wygant@french.arts.gla.ac.uk). The author's name and address should be given on a separate page and should not appear on the article. An abstract and seven key words should be included on a separate page (see below). Please use double spacing and the same font size (at least 12 point) throughout, including footnotes, and leave ample margins (at least 2.5 cm). When an article is accepted for publication, we require, in the interests of economy and accuracy, both a disk containing PC compatible Word files and two copies of the definitive typescript incorporating any revisions. Typescripts and disks should be prepared in accordance with the following guidelines; for further details, please refer to the MHRA Style Guide (2008), obtainable in print format for ? and downloadable in online format from the Modern Humanities Research Association website at www.style.mhra.org.uk. It is a condition of publication that papers become the copyright of the Society for Seventeenth-Century French Studies and that they are original and are not under consideration elsewhere.
Abstracts
Authors should supply an abstract with their article of between 150-200 words summarizing the contents of their paper and including seven keywords. The final version of this will be made available online. It is therefore important that the abstract should be succinct but sufficiently comprehensive to 'stand alone' as a summary of the paper.
Title, sub-headings, paragraphs
The title of an article appears in roman capitals, centred, not bold. The author's name is given at the end of the article after a blank line in capitals and small capitals, aligned right. In the case of articles (but not reviews) the place where the author works is also given, aligned left on the same line as the name, in upper and lower case (e.g. London).
Sub-headings, if used, should be in small capitals and left aligned. Sections may be numbered if the author wishes. A single line space should be left between sections. Avoid the use of bold type.
Please do not indent the first line of a paragraph beneath a title, sub-heading or at the start of a new section. The first line of subsequent paragraphs should be indented, using a single 'tab'. Do not insert a blank line between paragraphs. Use a single (not double) space after the full point at the end of sentences.
Footnotes
Footnote numbers should be given in the text, immediately following the most convenient punctuation mark. They should be kept to the strict minimum necessary for documentation and should not contain extra expository material.
References
When a work is mentioned for the first time, full details should be given in a footnote, as in these examples:
For books:
Delphine Denis, La Muse Galante: Poétique de la conversation dans l'œuvre de Madeleine de Scudéry (Paris: Champion, 1997), p. 37.
For articles in books:
Bernard Barbiche, 'Le Régime de l'édition', in Histoire de l'édition française, ed. By Henri Jean Martin, Roger Chrtier & Jean-Pierre Vivet (Paris: Promodis, 1983), I, pp. 457-71.
For articles in journals:
Jean-Pierre Dens, 'L'Art de la Conversation au dix-septième siècle', Lettres Romanes, XXVII, no. 3 (août 1973), 215-24.
Points to note include:
capitalize principal words, after the first, in book and article titles; use a colon to separate title and subtitle; italicize titles of books and journals, but not titles of articles within books and in journals
the name of the editor follows the book
if the article is in English, give foreign places of publication in the English form if there is one (Florence, Geneva etc.)
abbreviations include '2nd edn', 'rev. edn', 'ed. By', 'trans. By', 'rev. by', 'repr.'
give the last two numbers when expressing inclusive numbers within the same hundred, as in 20-21, 129-34, 205-06 (note especially the repetition of zero in the last case)
insert a space after an initial and full point (R. L. not R.L.) and after p./pp., vol., no., etc.
reference to a page or pages within a series of pages is given, using p. or pp.; however, full forms such as 'page', 'line' are used within the text
volume numbers of books are given in roman small capitals (it is rarely necessary to use 'vol.'), but those of journals are given in arabic numerals; no comma is used before parentheses; 'p./pp.' are not used when the volume number is given, unless the page numbers are in roman
use 'and others' not 'et al.'; in articles in English, avoid the Italian abbreviation 'AA. VV.': instead, give the name of the first author followed by 'and others'.
Subsequent references should be given in an abbreviated form using the author's surname, plus a short title if more than one work by the same author is cited, e.g.
Mack, p. 54
Mack, Pienza, p. 54
Wood, 'Religion, politics and sexuality', pp. 95-97
Thomas Nashe, iii, 96
Use a short title for anonymous works. Use of abbreviations should be restricted and the full form given at the first point of citation
Numbers of acts of plays and other major subdivisions should be given in roman numerals.
References to the Bible should be in the form: Isaiah 22. 17; II Corinthians 5. 13-15. 'Folio', 'recto', and 'verso' are abbreviated thus: fol. 3r, fol. 127v, fols 17v-22r, with superscript r and v.
Quotations
Long quotations (more than about fifty words of prose, or more than two complete lines of verse) should begin on a new line, indented and single spaced. Do not use quotation marks at the beginning and end unless they are in the original, and do not indent prose. Long quotations usually end with a full point; there is no need to preserve the original punctuation at the end, unless this is a question mark or exclamation mark. The reference should be placed in parentheses at the end of the quotation, after any punctuation mark.
Short quotations (prose and verse) should be placed within single inverted commas and run on with the body of the text. Do not use italics unless they are in the original or are added for emphasis. Use the vertical line | and not the oblique / in order to separate lines of verse. References should be placed in parentheses at the end of the quotations, after the final inverted comma but before any punctuation mark. If a short quotation is used within a sentence, the final full point should be outside the closing quotation mark. Question marks and exclamation marks at the end of a quotation should be inside the closing quotation mark, which should itself be followed by the punctuation mark ending the sentence; e.g.
He asks the question 'chi era costui?'.
The final full point should precede the closing quotation mark only when the quotation forms a complete sentence and is separated from the preceding passage by a punctuation mark.
For a quotation within a quotation, use double quotation marks, and normalize foreign usage (??etc.) to English ??
Indicate an omission with an ellipsis in square brackets, […], but do not indicate omissions at the end of quotations or at the start of prose quotations. Indicate omissions at the start of verse quotations only if the quotation does not begin at the start of the line and is longer than one line. Omitted lines of verse should be indicated by an ellipsis at the end of the preceding line (not by a row of dots). Square brackets should also be used for interpolations within quotations.
Use the original language for quotations, but please add translations in parentheses for languages other than English, Italian, or French.
Spelling and dates
British spelling as given in the Oxford English Dictionary and its derivatives is used; the forms include ize not ise for verbs such as 'realizes', 'civilized'; 'judgement' not 'judgment'. Do not italicize foreign words which have passed into regular English usage, and do not use diacritics on such words unless there is a final ? e.g. elite, precis, role, but clich? protég?
Spell out numbers, including ordinals, unless they are used as dates or are statistical. Large capitals are used for the roman numbers of monarchs, popes etc. (Charles V, Alexander VI).
Accents should go above the letter, e.g. ? ? ? Be consistent in the use of ?? ??in Italian. Letters bearing accents should still bear them when capitalized, e.g. '?vero'.
Give dates in the form 25 January 1946. Use 1960s rather than '60s, Sixties, 1960's. On disk, small capitals are used for bc and ad.
Punctuation
Enumerations of more than two items should have a comma after all but the last item, e.g. 'Paris, Calais, and Toulouse'. There should be no punctuation (other than question marks and full points used to mark abbreviations) after sub-headings and items in lists.
Do not use a full point after contractions which end with the same letter as the full form (thus vols, nos, Mr, St, edn, but vol., pp., ed., e.g., etc.), or in mm, cm; but use in. for inches to avoid confusion.
Do not use punctuation in common abbreviations such as BBC, NATO, USA, PCI.
Use parentheses (not square brackets) within parentheses.
Acknowledgements
Any acknowledgements should be placed at the end of the article, introduced by an asterisk, and a superscript asterisk should be placed at the end of the title.
Submission of articles and reviews on disk
Articles should be submitted in PC format in Word where possible. Use one size of one simple typeface, such as Times Roman, and avoid justified type.
Use smart (curly) quotes for single and double quotation marks as appropriate.
An EN rule is used to indicate a span or a differentiation (pp. 1-5, the Milan-Florence conflict); an EM rule (-) is used to enclose parenthetical statements or to denote a break in a sentence. If you are confident that you know which is appropriate, please use these dashes when preparing your typescript. Use the standard dash on your keyboard for a hyphen.
Please do not use hard page breaks, or hyphens to split words at line endings.
Tables
Tables should be submitted on separate sheets, numbered in arabic numerals, and their position indicated in the text (e.g. Table 1). Each table should have a short self-explanatory title. Vertical rules must not be used to separate columns. Any explanatory notes, including the source, should be given in a note at the bottom of the table. It is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission to quote or reproduce material which has appeared in another publication.
Illustrations
These must be submitted on separate pages and numbered sequentially using Arabic numerals for figures. Each must have a caption and source. Within the text, figures and tables should be referred to by number (e.g. Figure 1), and placement in the text should be clearly indicated. Images should be supplied electronically in CMYK format as good-quality TIFF or EPS files, suitable for printing. As a guide images should be submitted at a minimum input scanning resolution of 300 dpi for full colour, 350-400 dpi for half tones, 600 dpi for slides or transparencies, 800 dpi for simple line and 1200 dpi for fine line illustrations. Please note that the final reproduction quality is dependent on original supply of correct format and resolution. The author must obtain written evidence of permission to reproduce images (in all formats, in perpetuity and in all geographical regions worldwide) from the copyright owner for the use of any illustrative matter in the journal and will be liable for any fee charged by the owner of the image. The caption should include relevant credit of the permission of the copyright holder to reproduce the image. For more information please see www.maney.co.uk/authors/copyright.
Online Colour
It is possible for colour illustrations to be published in the online version of Seventeenth-Century French Studies free of charge. Images submitted in colour will be published in black and white in the printed journal (unless otherwise agreed with the journal editor) but will be posted online in colour. Authors have the opportunity to enhance the appearance of their article, improve its clarity, and heighten its impact by using colour for diagrams, graphs and illustrations. Authors should consider the use of colour within their articles carefully to ensure that meaning is not lost from diagrams when produced in greyscale in the print journal. Authors should bear this in mind when preparing the format of the images for submission and when obtaining permission to use material from third parties. For more information please see www.maney.co.uk/authors/copyright.
Copyright
Authors who wish to reproduce material from previously published sources or where the copyright is owned by a third party, such as sections of text, tables or images, must obtain written permission from the copyright holder (usually the publisher) and the author(s)/artist(s) of the original material. A line giving the full source of the material should be included in the manuscript. If material from the author's own published work is to be used, permission must still be obtained from that publisher. Copyright is required for use in all formats (including digital), in perpetuity and in all geographical regions worldwide.
