And a finishing touch: a
great title
A good title is not too vague, yet not too long either. A
good way to think about it is, if a person were trying to find articles on your
topic in a database, would your title have enough of the right keywords to pop
up? Be sure to mention the text and/or author you're writing about, and include
words which reveal something about the main drift of your argument. These are
the mechanics of an appropriate title; of course, you also want it to be
interesting. A unique or clever turn of phrase can do this for you. You can
also take a short phrase from the text which you think particularly relates to
what you have to say, and place it before your main title, with a colon to
connect them. Here's an example.
"Wild Ecstasies" and "Sober Pleasure":
The Relationship between William and Dorothy Wordsworth in "Lines Written a
Few Miles above Tintern
Abbey"
