In your analysis be sure to consider the following points:
a) Provide relevant information about the author.
b) Place the document in its historical context (is it linked to any specific event or events? under what circumstances was it composed?).
c) Analyse the main points/themes/arguments of the document. This should take up about 50% of your word total. ‘Analysis’ entails both summarizing and critically evaluating the document.
d) Discuss the document’s nature and purpose (what kind of document is it? what is the author’s intention, what is he or she trying to achieve? what audience is the document intended for?)
e) To what extent and in what ways might this document be useful to you as a historian? (what can it tell you about the particular historical situation or relevant theme? are there any particular problems which need to be considered when evaluating the document and determining its value? Be specific in your comments and avoid vague or platitudinous generalizations.)
You can refer to one or more of the textbooks and reference works listed in the Subject Guide to find information on the background and historical context of the document you choose. In addition, the sources listed below may be of use. You are encouraged to discover and use other secondary sources in preparing your analysis, particularly academic articles published in peerreviewed journals. At least four secondary sources must be used in your analysis.
Be sure to properly cite in footnotes any secondary sources you use. You do not need to footnote passages that you quote from the primary source document itself, but keep such quoting to a minimum. Footnotes are single-spaced. Do not use in-text citations or end notes.
A bibliography should be included (this does not count in the word total). Bibliographical entries should be single-spaced. Entries should be organized alphabetically by author’s surname.

Remember that there are penalties for over length essays (although not for under length essays).
