Introduction
This course specification and how to use it
You are encouraged to read this course specification and follow its advice. Please return to it
frequently. This guide and the Student Handbook will help you with practical matters you will
encounter in the course. It will help you to make the best use of your time and resources, set out the
format to be used for references, the bibliography and presentation of the dissertation, emphasise
areas you should be aware of, and encourage you to engage with your research.
If you have questions or queries not answered in this guide ask your supervisor or the Course
Director. They have expert knowledge about the subject, conventions to be used and sources and
resources that are available, and will be able to tell you the best person to contact should any
problems occur.

Dissertation deadline
1 May 2018
During the Advanced Diploma you will be given a total of 8 supervisions over 2 years.
The table above lists all the course dates that you need to know. Supervision dates are arranged
individually between supervisors and students. Please write the agreed dates into the spaces above
for your own records.
Induction day
The Induction day provides an opportunity to meet your fellow students as well as your Course
Director and there will be sessions on undertaking research, including how to access the resources of
the University Library, and on preparing your dissertation. The first supervision will also be held during
the Induction day. You will be sent details of how to prepare for this session in advance of the
Induction day.
Supervisions
The course is structured so that during the first part of the course you develop your knowledge and
understanding and the appropriate skills to undertake the research that will culminate in your
dissertation. Your supervisor will give assistance in this by advice on research methodology, asking
questions and engaging in debates pertinent to your field of study as well as making sure that you
keep to a manageable timetable.
During the course you will receive one group and seven individual supervisions. The content of group
supervisions will be adapted to reflect the interests and research topics of the students attending but
will cover general topics of literary analysis and critical theory, with some set reading details of which
will be sent to students at least a month in advance of the supervision. Group supervisions are
designed to sharpen students research and critical skills and to develop their knowledge of recent
literary and critical debates in preparation for their immersion in their particular area of research.
Assignments and the dissertation
During the course you will undertake a number of pieces of written work. The types of work you need
to submit are listed below and the submission date for each piece of work is listed above.
All assignments must be submitted by the stated deadline and be within the stated word limits
(counting any text in the body of the assignment, inclusive of references/footnotes/endnotes in the
main body of the text, but exclusive of any bibliography or list of resources consulted and of any
abstract, list of contents or abbreviations that may be included at the beginning or end of the
assignment).
Formative assignments
Formative assignments are designed to help you in your studies. These are compulsory but do not
contribute towards your course mark.
Summative assignments
The summative (marked) assignments together account for 30% of your final course mark. Should
you fail a summative assignment, your supervisor will advise you on the reasons and ways to
improve.
Draft dissertation
You will be required to submit a draft of your dissertation from 6 to 8 weeks before the submission of
your final version of your dissertation (see timetable above). Your supervisor will then read the draft
and give you feedback. To make the most of your supervisors feedback, please aim to submit
at the draft stage a near-complete version of the dissertation and leave yourself sufficient time
to implement any improvements to your draft dissertation that are recommended by your
supervisor.
Dissertation
At the end of the course you will submit a 10,000 12,000 word dissertation which is worth 70% of
your final course mark.
Your final mark will be a composite of your summative assignment and dissertation marks weighted
30% and 70% respectively. It is necessary to achieve a pass mark of 40% or above in each piece of
marked work. You will be allowed to resubmit, once only, any failed summative assignment during the
first part of the course. It is not normally possible to resubmit a failing dissertation. Resubmission of a
dissertation which is given a fail mark is only possible in exceptional circumstances and is not
normally permitted.
a) To keep to the agreed timetable for meetings and handing in assignments. Please give your
supervisor plenty of time to read and comment upon your assignments before your supervision. If
you are unable to keep an appointment, please ensure you give your supervisor as much notice
as possible.
b) To make the best use of supervision time: firstly by preparing for the meeting in advance and
secondly by listening to the advice given to you by your supervisor.
Your supervisor will be asked to write a number of reports on your progress to the Course Director.
These reports will be uploaded in your course VLE space as a record of your progress through the
course.
4. Time management
It is very useful to make a preliminary plan for your work. Research often takes longer than the
researcher anticipates but it is a useful discipline to impose deadlines on yourself.
A useful tool is a research log. This can be constructed to suit your requirements but the following
headings have proved useful in the past:
Date
Weekly objective
Hours worked and where
Summary of main work covered, books read, primary research material collected
Problems with research or general comments
Plan for following week
One page per week should be sufficient to help you keep track of your work.
5. Subject Sources
What is a primary text or primary source?
In simplest terms, a primary text is a literary text written by an author and (usually) intended for
publication to the general public. Thus, if you were researching Shakespeares Roman plays, Julius
Caesar and Coriolanus would be primary texts. For Shakespeare himself, of course, Norths Plutarch
was a primary source; for you, on the other hand, it would be secondary. In the same way, if you were
researching Dickens London, Our Mutual Friend would be a primary text, and Henry Mayhews
London Labour and the London Poor, which would have been a primary source for Dickens, would be
a secondary text for you. Jeremy Tamblings study of Dickens London, Going Astray, would be - for
the purposes of your research also a secondary text.
What is a secondary text?
In general, you should work on the principle that critical texts are always secondary, unless one or
more such text happens to be the focus of your research.
A secondary source is a text that relates or discusses information originally presented elsewhere.
Such sources give you information about how something has been interpreted by others.
Secondary sources fall into several different categories. For example:
Reference works. These are books that summarise current understandings of a subject, and
key data ('facts'), and usually claim to be comprehensive in some way or other. They do not
generally engage in sustained analysis or analysis that is controversial within the field.
Examples of reference works are the Oxford Companion to English Literature, or indeed the
Oxford English Dictionary.
Synthesis. These are works that present a synthesis of the arguments of others but do not
necessarily contain original research. These make an excellent starting point for research and
point you towards debates found in other works. The Cambridge Companion series, and (at a
5
more introductory level) the Cambridge Contexts in Literature series are examples of this kind
of synthesis.
Academic monographs and articles
These are based on original research and will contain ideas and theories developed by the author.
For example, the following book is a monograph: Fred Parker, Devil as Muse: Blake, Byron and the
Adversary (2011)
Articles are collected in scholarly Journals and Periodicals and you should familiarise yourself with the
most-read Journals within your field. The following is an example of an article in an academic journal.
Priya Gopal, The Moral Empire: Africa, Globalisation and the Politics of Conscience, New
Formations: a Journal of Culture/Theory/Politics, ed. Priyamvada Gopal and Neil Lazarus 59,
2006, 81-97
Your literature search should include journals since the most up-to-date research is often found in
periodicals. Although you will find much useful information online, be wary of using the internet as a
reliable source for anything other than academic articles accessed via online academic journals. Your
supervisor and the Course Director will give you advice about appropriate sites.
Although you might be the first to research your particular subject, it is probable that you will not be
the first to write on the broader topic. There will be debates within the secondary literature with which
you will need to be familiar. You will need to review this secondary literature, identifying particular
viewpoints and issues of dispute between scholars. For example: Which primary sources are they
using and how? Is their interpretation plausible? Try to be critical. Although a literature review will not
form part of your final dissertation, your work will be marked on the extent and manner in which you
use your sources and evaluate academic debates. You need to place both your study and your final
conclusions within this broader context.
You will find useful subject guides to particular areas of English Literature at the Faculty of English
Library webpage: http://subjects.cam.libguides.com/EnglishSubjectResources
6. Course details
The Advanced Diploma comprises eight supervisions, two summative assignments and one
dissertation over two academic years of study. The two summative assignments are written in part
one of your course and together count towards 30% of the final mark. In part two of your course you
will undertake a 10,000-12,000 word dissertation, which makes up 70% of your final mark. In order to
break these into something more manageable, you will be required to submit two formative
assignments; that is, assignments that must be completed but in themselves carry no mark.
These are designed to help you to prepare your assignments and dissertation. It is advisable to
discuss your research plan and assignments with your supervisor as soon as possible after
beginning.
Application: Outline Research Proposal
Outline Research Proposal, submitted as part of your application, of not more than 1 side of A4.
This should propose a title for the dissertation and explain the subject you intend to research. There
should be some indication of the primary and secondary sources you intend to use and the research
questions you will be asking.
It is probable that this will be a broad-based proposal which is refined down after later supervisions
and that it will have to be modified further when you have looked at the sources available or realise
that you have been too ambitious. Do not worry about this; being able to make adjustments because
of lack of sources or time is part of the learning process when undertaking a sustained piece of
research. Formative assignments later in the first year will help you to further structure your
dissertation.
Summative assignments
You will be required to submit two summative assignments for assessment of 3000 4000 words
each. Please check carefully the precise word count required for each summative assignment.
Your assignment word count must fall within the word count range stated. Details of the
summative assignment deadlines are given in section 2 above. Summative assignments should be
submitted via the VLE and be accompanied by a cover sheet as described below.
These summative assignments will constitute 30% of your final mark with each summative
assignment contributing 15%.
The word length specified for the assignment(s) is inclusive of references in the main body of the text,
of footnotes and endnotes but exclusive of any bibliography or list of resources consulted and any
abstract, list of contents or list of abbreviations that may be included at the beginning or end of the
assignment.
The use of appendices is generally discouraged except where additional data, not available in
published form, must be presented, and must be previously agreed with your supervisor.
Summative Assignment 1
Closing date for the submission of Summative assignment 1 is 31 January 2017 by 12.00 (noon)
GMT *
Discursive essay (3000-4000 words) which may be on a topic related to your dissertation or on
another area of your choosing. If you choose to write an essay close to the topic of your dissertation,
you may write on a work by the same author, or a work from the same period, or adopting a similar
critical/theoretical approach but should not use material or texts you intend to discuss in your
dissertation. You will devise a title in consultation with your supervisor and/or the Course Director.
*Greenwich Mean Time
Summative Assignment 2
Essay (3000-4000 words) Write a critical response to a scholarly article or academic book chapter on
a subject related to your dissertation topic, providing a summary of the argument, defining its
critical/theoretical position and analysing and evaluating the argument.
Closing date for the submission of Summative assignment 2 is 1 May 2018 by 12.00 (noon) BST*
*British Summer Time
Guidance on Plagiarism
Students are expected to make sure that their summative assignments and dissertation are supported
by appropriate referencing and that there is no danger their work could be suspected of plagiarism.
They should familiarise themselves with the guidance and plagiarism policy of the Institute available
at www.ice.cam.ac.uk/studying-with-us/information-for-students/plagiarism-policy.
Students will be required to attach to each summative assignment and the dissertation a completed
Assignment Cover Sheet and Declaration, confirming that:
the work I have submitted for assessment is my own, except where acknowledgement of sources
is made;
I have read the Institutes definition of plagiarism, the Institutes guidance: Plagiarism and how to
avoid it and the University of Cambridge guidelines on good academic practice and plagiarism for
submitted work ;
I give permission for this work to be screened by Turnitin UK, as described in the VLE Help &
Guidance area, and understand that it will be added to the Turnitin UK database.
7
For guidance on referencing your sources and setting out a bibliography please see section 9,
References and bibliography.
There are also 2 formative assignments attached to the first part of the Advanced Diploma,
prior to the writing of the dissertation. They are compulsory but carry no mark. These are
intended to develop your research skills and your writing skills.
Formative assignment 1: Literature Review, including a bibliography. Between 1,000 2,000 words
Formative assignment 2: Plan of the dissertation, including a chapter outline, abstract and research
plan.
10
We suggest that you use either the Harvard System or guidelines to referencing of the Modern
Humanities Research Association (MHRA) . You can find details of the Harvard system on the
ICE VLE under Help and Guidance, then Study Skills in Academic Study.
The English Faculty, which endorses this Advanced Diploma in English Literature, expects research
students to use the MHRA Style Guide, and you may prefer to use this system. The main difference is
that MHRA uses footnotes rather than in-text citations. Footnotes are included in your overall word
count and the Harvard system will use up fewer of your words.Whichever system you use, the most
important factor is to be accurate and consistent within your own dissertation.
Full details of how to use MHRA can be found in its Style Guide which covers every possible
source you might want to use and tells you how to cite it:
http://www.mhra.org.uk/Publications/Books/StyleGuide
General Style Guidance
Whenever you mention the title of a work (a novel, film, work of criticism, painting etc.) you must
italicise it.
eg. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bront
eg. In Frankenstein, we first encounter Frankenstein through the eyes of Robert Walton.
The title of any work which was published as part of a collection should be in single inverted commas.
This applies to short poems, short stories, articles, and essays.
eg. The Raven, The Tiredness of Rosabel, Tradition and the Individual Talent.
Bliss refers to the particular story by Katherine Mansfield, whereas Bliss, and Other Stories refers to
the collection as a whole.
When you first mention a novel or a poem you should supply its date, either as part of a sentence or
in parenthesis:
eg. Jane Eyre (1847) exploits elements of the Gothic within a realist narrative.
eg. Charlotte Bronts Jane Eyre, published in 1847, may not comment directly on womens position
in society but is full of feminist intent.
Presentation of quotations
It is very important that you show where quotes from texts begin and end and that you leave your
reader in no doubt as to whether you are writing in your own words, or quoting a literary text or critic.
When you write about any literary text, the convention is to phrase your discussion in the present
tense.
eg. In his poem The Lake Isle of Innisfree, Yeats creates a precisely detailed image of a place
where peace comes dropping slow.
eg. When Jane marries Rochester, she describes her decision in the active voice: Reader, I married
him.
a. Short quotations
These can be included as part of your text. Use single inverted commas to show where the quote
begins and ends and double inverted commas for a quotation within a quotation.
eg. Jane describes her own mind as being like a ridge of lighted heath, alive, glancing, devouring as
she confronts her aunt.
Where a whole sentence is quoted in full, without any interruption, the final full stop in the sentence
comes before the closing inverted comma.
11
eg.: Jane then goes on to describe her feelings when her anger dies away and a period of calm
reminds her of the madness of my conduct, and the dreariness of my hated and hating position.
b. Longer quotations
Quotations of more than one-and-a-half lines should begin on a new line and should be indented and
single-spaced.
Do not use inverted commas (quote marks) for indented passages.
eg. When Jane describes her anger during her confrontation with her aunt she again speaks in
images of fire and destruction :
A ridge of lighted heath, alive, glancing, devouring, would have been a meet emblem of my
mind when I accused and menaced Mrs. Reed: the same ridge, black and blasted after the
flames are dead, would have represented as meetly my subsequent condition, when half-anhour's silence and reflection had shown me the madness of my conduct, and the dreariness of
my hated and hating position.
References and footnotes
You must make clear acknowledgement of all works you have used in writing your essay. If you fail to
do so, you may be penalised for plagiarism (using someone elses words without acknowledgement,
whether from a book or internet source.) References may be given either within the text, or in
footnotes or endnotes (but be consistent as to which you use in any given essay).
You should provide a reference for any direct quotations, facts that are not widely known, opinions
directly derived from a secondary work and paraphrase of any part of a primary or secondary work.
You must also include a bibliography which will include all works cited where you list all the texts you
have quoted from and any from which you have not quoted but which have been crucial in the
formation of your argument.
The guidelines below are for the MHRA system. Full details of the Harvard system may be found on
the ICE VLE or in the Student Handbook.
a. First reference
The first time you refer to a particular work, you should insert a footnote or endnote at the end of the
sentence, giving a full reference.
eg. According to Jonathan Bate, literature is writing that must be judged according to the criterion of
significant form.1
1
Jonathan Bate, English Literature, A Very Short Introduction (Oxford: Oxford University Press 2010),
p. 271.
b. Second and subsequent references
If you refer to the same work again in your essay, then on second and subsequent occasions you
may give the reference in a shortened form.
eg.. 4 Bate, p. 39.
Or if you have more than one work by the same author:
4
If you are referring to the same text many times throughout the essay then provide the full reference
in a footnote the first time you quote, and let the reader know how you will refer to the text in
subsequent references, which can be given in parentheses in the body of your essay.
eg. When Jane marries Rochester, she describes her actions in the active voice: Reader, I married
him.1
12
Charlotte Bront, Jane Eyre, ed., by Margaret Smith (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000), p. 448.
Subsequent references provided parenthetically as JE.
Thereafter in your essay you would place the reference after the quote:
eg. Jane describes her mind as a ridge of lighted heath, alive, glancing, devouring in her
confrontation with her aunt. (JE 42)
How to present information on sources in footnotes and endnotes
a) Book
Give, in this order: name of author, title of book, name of editor (if applicable), place of publication,
name of publisher, date of publication, and page number(s).
eg. Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre, ed. by Margaret Smith (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000), p.
448.
b) Article in a Journal
Give, in this order: name of author, title of article, title of periodical, volume number, date, page
numbers of start and end of article, and the specific page number(s) for your reference.
eg. Raymond Williams, Literature and the City, Listener, vol. 78 (1967): 653-6 (p. 655).
c) An essay in an essay-collection
Give, in this order: name of author, title of essay, editor of volume, title of volume, place of publication,
name of publisher, date, and page number (s).
eg. Miranda J. Banks, A Boy for all Planets: Roswell, Smallville and the Teen Male Melodrama, in
Teen TV: Genre, Consumption and Identity, ed. by Glyn Davis and Kaye Dickinson (London: British
Film Institute, 2004), pp. 17-28 (p. 22).
d) A film
Give, in this order: title of film, name of director, and date.
eg. Vertigo, Alfred Hitchcock (1958)
e). Internet Sites
If your source provides you with an author, give their name and the title of the article or review.
Provide the exact web address and the date you last accessed the information.
e.g. http://www.oldbaileyonline.org, last accessed 1 July 2011.
Bibliography
A bibliography is a list of (1) all the literary or other primary texts that constitute the subject-matter
of your essay, and (2) all the critical or historical studies to which you have referred in your
discussion, together with any other important works of this sort that formed part of your reading
and thinking on the subject where not specifically cited in your footnotes. Texts in the first category
should be listed in a section called Primary Sources, and texts in the second category should be
listed in a section called Secondary Sources (Note: Primary and Secondary do not mean more
important and less important in this instance; the difference is between the Works of
Shakespeare on the one hand, and a critical book on Shakespeare or a historical account of Tudor
England on the other.) You may also have a section on Manuscripts or Works of Reference
where relevant.
You should begin compiling your bibliography from the very beginning of your work, keeping
accurate records of authors, titles, and so on, together with library class-marks for your own use.
13
Bibliography items should be listed in alphabetical order (beginning anew under each section)
Items should be listed under these headings: Primary Sources, Secondary Sources,
Manuscripts Sources (if any), Works of Reference (if any).
Example bibliography:
Primary Sources
Johnson, Thomas H., ed., Emily Dickinson: Selected Letters, 2nd edn (Cambridge, MA: Harvard
University Press, 1985)
