Question

4. Using the following information, write a proper bibliographical entry for an academic assignment. Author: Daniel Hoffmann. Title: Harvard Guide to American Literature. Place of publication: Bombay. Year of Publication: 1979. Publisher: Oxford University Press.help​

Answer 1

Since the format to write a bibliographic entry of the given citation source is not mentioned in the question, I am using the MLA 8th edition format; because it is widely used in Indian colleges and universities. Now, as per the question, we have the following details:-

• Author: Daniel Hoffmann
• Title: Harvard Guide to American Literature
• Place of publication: Bombay
• Year of Publication: 1979
• Publisher: Oxford University Press

As per the MLA 8th edition format, the citation should begin with the author's name (last name, followed by first name). Next, the name of the book is written in italics, followed by the publisher's name as well as the place of publication in the default font format. Lastly, the publication year is mentioned. Thus, the bibliographic entry in this case will be:-

Hoffman, Daniel. Harvard Guide to American Literature. Oxford University Press, Bombay, 1979.
