Referencing
Section outline
-
The School of English and Drama uses a version of the MHRA (Modern Humanities Research Association) Style Guide for referencing. In this section you can find the latest version of the SED Quick Reference Style Sheet and – following student feedback – the SED Expanded Reference Guide and the SED Quick Reference Guide for theatre, television, social media etc.
We have also developed an interactive tutorial for referencing – the Citation Online Tutorial (COLT).
If you want to access the full MHRA Style Guide, it is available to download here.
