BIBLIOGRAPHY

A bibliography is a list of works on a subject or by an author that were used or consulted to write a research paper, book or article. It can also be referred to as a list of works cited. A bibliography is a list of books and other references that an author has used in preparing a research paper. This list may be titled Bibliography, Selected Bibliography, or Works Consulted, depending on the style manual the author used.

The main purpose of a bibliography entry is to give credit to authors whose work you’ve consulted in your research. It also makes it easy for a reader to find out more about your topic by delving into the research that you used to write your paper.

There are three common types of bibliography:

1.      Analytical bibliography

2.      Enumerative bibliography

3.      Annotated bibliography

Bibliography has five branches that often overlap: enumerative bibliography; analytical bibliography; descriptive bibliography; textual bibliography; historical bibliography. Whether you are writing an article, a book, a research paper, or a thesis, your bibliography is an essential tool for communicating crucial information to your readers: First, by providing full details of every source you used, you enable your readers to find those books and read them, if they so choose.

Before working on the citation or bibliography of content, it is best to know the difference between the various terms like citation, reference, or bibliography. Though they are similar in nature, all these terms are distinct, and they follow different styles.

Difference between Bibliography and Citation:

Work Cited or Citation:

            Citation is an essential list of the writers’ works used in their content. In the citation, the writer needs to write the work they are quoting or paraphrasing while composing the work. The citation listing is in alphabetical order, where the author’s last name comes before the first name.

The writer needs to mention other details like work name, publication date, and the publication house’s name in the citation. Most researchers and writers prefer MLA format (Modern Language Association).

Reference:

            The work of reference is more or less the same as the citation. Writers must make a list of the works they have used as reference according to the alphabetical order of the last names of the authors of those works. They need to put the names on a page under the headline references. This page is mostly seen at the end of the whole work.

Sometimes, many students can also do in-page citations. For referencing the work, the widely preferred style is APA (American Psychological Association) style, which includes information like publication year and the publication house’s name apart from the author’s name and the work.

Bibliography of Works:

Bibliography is far different from the citation and reference. In the bibliography of a writer, the writer needs to mention the sources they have read.

JOHN KEATS                                                                             John Keats was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of romantic poets along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley , despite his work only having been in publication for four years before his death.            Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his life, his reputation grew after his death, so that by the end of the 19th century he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He had a significant influence on a diverse range of later poets and writers. Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life.           The poetry of Keats is characterized by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analyzed in English literature. CHARACTERISTIC
