GUIDELINES FOR PRESENTATION
Contributors can greatly help the editorial process by setting up their manuscript in accordance with the following conventions.
1) Use A4 paper, one side of each sheet only.
2 Leave generous margins.
3) Use double line spacing, even for quotations and notes.
4) Indent the beginning of each paragraph except the first.
5) Use single, not double, inverted commas.
6) Italicise (or underline) book titles.
7) Enclose in single inverted commas the titles of poems, short stories, articles and chapters.
8) Longish quotations should start on a new line and be set off by indentation, but not enclosed in inverted commas.
Shorter quotations should be incorporated into the text within single inverted commas.
9) The titles of articles are neither capitalised throughout nor italicised.
10) The author's name should be centrally placed below the title of articles, and academic affiliation, italicised or underlined, should be placed at the end of the text but before the notes.
11) Reviews should have brief titles (three or four words), underlined or italicised. Details of the book under review are given below the title, using the following conventions:
Dividing Lines: Poetry, Class and Ideology in the 1930s. BY ADRIAN CAESAR. Manchester University Press. 9.95 and .95.
For reviews, the author's name, capitalised, should be placed at the end, with academic affiliation, italicised or underlined, below it.
12) If a source can be clearly and concisely indicated within parentheses in the text, please do so: e.g. Hamlet's well-known soliloquy (II.3.56). References after the first one to a work should be in the text, in parentheses, and in abbreviated form (do not use 'op. cit.'): e.g. (Form and Style, p. 82).
Often (especially when there is a series of references) just a bracketed page number in the text is sufficient: (p. 82).
13) When footnotes are necessary make them as brief as possible and place them at the end of the article.
14) Material submitted should generally be in line with modern conventions on issues of language and gender. If guidance is needed please consult The Handbook of Non-Sexist Writing for Writers, Editors and Speakers, Casey Miller and Kate Swift, published by the Women's Press.
