How to Write an Annotated Bibliography
What is an Annotated Bibliography?
A bibliography is a list of sources that you plan to use in
your paper. In an annotated bibliography, each source is followed by a summary of it and its
relevance to your paper topic. Creating an annotated bibliography ensures that you have found
adequate scholarly resources, and that you have read your sources carefully and have a good
sense of how they relate to your topic.
Before you Begin
Identify and gather the sources that you will use.
Read each source and take some general notes on it.
Make sure that you know how to cite sources in your bibliography correctly.
Format of the Annotated Bibliography:
Each source is listed in correct bibliographic form.
Sources are listed in alphabetical order by the author’s last name.
Each source is followed by a 3-5 sentence summary.
What to Include in the Summary
A sentence or two on the general topic or research question that the work addresses.
A sentence or two on the thesis or argument of the work.
A sentence on the author’s methodology: What kinds of sources are used? Is it a case
study or an overview of scholarship on the subject? How is the book/article organized?
A sentence on how this source is relevant to your paper topic or how it will be helpful to
your research and analysis.
Sample Annotated Bibliography (with explanatory comments)
Nicholson, Helen. “Women on the Third Crusade.” Journal of Medieval History 23.4 (1997):
335-49.
In this article, Nicholson explores the controversial question of whether, and to what extent,
women participated in armed conflict during the Third Crusade [This sentence identifies the
central question of the article]. After reviewing different historians’ views on the issue, she
examines the widely different depictions of women’s participation in the crusade given in
Muslim and Christian accounts [This sentence explains the sources that she used]. Nicholson
exposes the biases within both Muslim and Christian accounts to examine how Muslim sources
tended to exaggerate women’s participation in armed conflict while Christian sources tended to
conceal women’s roles. Ultimately, she argues that while women played many important support
roles during the Crusades, their participation in armed conflict was limited to extremely dire
battles [The previous two sentences explain the thesis of the article]. This article provides an
excellent overview of the primary and secondary sources associated with the debate over the
participation of women in armed conflict during the Crusades; it will help to support my
argument that, while they were essential to the Crusades, women were limited in the roles that
they could play within them due to social stigma [This sentence explains how the article will be
relevant to your essay].
Bebel, August. Women under Socialism. Translated by Daniel De Leon. New York: Schocken
Books, 1971.
August Bebel’s book Die Frau und der Sozialismus is an extensive critique of the
industrial capitalist system, specifically of the roles of women during the 19th century. Bebel’s
work was a major influence on the feminist movement in Germany, as well as on Clara Zetkin
and female members of the Social Democratic Party.
Evans, Richard J. “German Social Democracy and Women’s Suffrage 1891-1918.” Journal of
Contemporary History 15, no. 3 (July 1980): 533-57.
Evans emphasizes the significance of the role of female activists in the German Social
Democratic Party. He details the rhetoric, organizational structure, and tactics that women in the
SPD used and argues that their pro-socialist movement had more of an impact on women’s
equality than did bourgeoisie reforms. He also describes the effect that the woman had on their
male counterparts within the SPD.
