Publisher's Synopsis
'MHRA Style Guide' has been widely used by scholarly authors writing about the Humanities since its first edition in 1971. It offers practical guidance on how to cite sources from medieval manuscripts to software and social media. Rules are provided to help working authors deal consistently with issues from quoting weights and measures ('5kg', or '5 kg'?) to the spelling of European city names ('Lyons', or 'Lyon'?). There is detailed advice on indexing and on the compilation of bibliographies, including thorny issues around how to alphabetize names.
