|Writing a Book Review |
|I. HOW TO STRUCTURE YOUR ESSAY. |
|A. Include one substantive section which discusses the content of the book. This should comprise no less than two, but no more than |
|three pages of the essay. Your audience should know, from your description, what the book contains, as well as what it does not |
|contain (and perhaps, should contain). |
|Things to bear in mind (without explicitly stating them in the book review): does the title accurately reflect the contents: in |
|other words, does the title claim a particular period (1494-1871), but only really encompasses the 18th century; or, does the title |
|claim to cover military organization in New Spain, but really only deals with Mexico City? |
|B. Ask what were the objectives of the author? Were they successfully achieved? |
|C. For books published before 1994 in English: how was the book review received (see section II below)? In order to answer this |
|question, 1) you must go to the Social Sciences Citation Index and look up which books or articles have cited this work. Make a |
|xerox copy of these citations and TURN IN THE PHOTOCOPY WITH YOUR ESSAY. 2) Then find one of the books or articles and read what |
|those authors say about the work, i.e., "a smashing, groundbreaking study, indispensable for anyone interested in the location of |
|every tree on Little Round Top before and after Pickettís charge," or "this book fills in a much needed gap in our knowledge: lose |
|no time in reading it." |
|D. For books published 1994-95 determine which books or authors were acknowledged by the author as a major influence. Go to one of |
|those books and try to determine how you think that work helped to shape the book. |
|II. ADDITIONAL MATERIALS |
|A. As stated in section I. C (for books published before 1994), your essay must be accompanied by the photocopy of the Social |
|Science Citation Index page. (If you have trouble using this source, see a Reference Librarian.) |
|B. You must read other reviews on the book published in relevant journals. For books published in 1994 or before, you will find |
|those journal citations either in: a) America: History and Life (hard copy or on-line); b)Wilson Index (hard copy). After you have |
|found the review citation, go to the journal cited and photocopy that review. INCLUDE THAT PHOTOCOPY WITH YOUR ESSAY. |
|III. FURTHER INFORMATION |
|A. Your grade will be based upon how effectively you complete the assignment set forth above. Good syntax, spelling and style are |
|also essential to your grade. All essays must be typed and must not be less than five or more than six pages. Use the spell check on|
|your word processing program. Each late essay will lose one letter grade for each 24 hour period beyond the due date and time. |
|B. For style, look at book reviews in the New York Times Book Review section, published each Sunday, or in The New York Review of |
|Books. Examine the ways in which professional book reviews are constructed and see how, for instance, the authors link the beginning|
|and last paragraphs of their essay. |
