The Footnotes
Footnotes are preferred to Endnotes (see how to convert them below). References may be included in footnotes
using the authorshort title format, with the reference being given in full at the frst mention in each chapter
and in a shortened form thereafter. Other reference styles, such as Harvard (name and date), Modern Language
Association (MLA) and Chicago, may be used with the approval of your commissioning editor. All references must
be styled consistently (see below).
Very long footnotes should be avoided if possible. Consider whether any amplifcations or quoted material in
the footnote could be brought in to the body of the text.
How to insert footnotes in Word
place the cursor where the footnote indicator should be located in the main text
on the Insert menu, select Reference
on the Reference submenu, click Footnote
make sure Footnotes is selected in the Location section
if it isnt already, select Bottom of page
click Insert (the footnote indicator must be a superscript Arabic numeral)
the footnote indicator will appear at the selected location. You will then be taken to the footnote
reference at the bottom of the page
enter the footnote text
How to convert endnotes to footnotes (unless your commissioning editor agreed otherwise)
go to Insert>Reference>Footnotes
in the dialogue box choose Convert all endnotes to footnotes and click OK

The Bibliography
The bibliography appears at the end of the book and includes full references to every citation in the book and
further reading.
If necessary, bibliographical entries can be subdivided into separate lists to cover manuscript sources, printed
primary sources and secondary sources.
Manuscript sources
Manuscript sources should be arranged alphabetically by institution:
Bodleian Library, Oxford, 8.C46.Th(2)
British Library, Royal MS 12A.53
National Library of Scotland, Advocates MS 31.6.9
Public Record Offce, Surrey, SP 1/57/2833, 244

Figures and Illustrative Material

1
Using Figures and Illustrative Material
An appropriate fgure or illustration can be extremely helpful. It can explain concepts or highlight an argument
and break up the text. But it is not always necessary. If you answer yes to most of the following then it is
probably appropriate.
Question Answer Action
Does it add to the text rather than
repeat what you have said?
yes/no check how much explanatory information you need to
provide with it
Will it reproduce well in black and
white?
yes/no bear in mind a colour image may not work well in black and
white; print it in black and white to check
Do I own the copyright? yes/no remember if you dont specifcally own the copyright
someone else possibly will, see page 15
Do I know the copyright owner? yes/no identify the copyright, the owner and use the Permissions
Request Forms (pages 5 and 7) to obtain permission (you are
responsible for any charge associated with using the fgure or
illustration)
Do I have written permission for all
copyright (and the cover image?)
yes/no if you have not obtained written permission for print and
electronic media then we cannot use the image
Do I need another fgure or
illustration?
yes/no fgures and illustrations add time and costs to the book,
please use them sparingly
Placing in the Text
Please indicate if you have a preference. If not we will best ft the fgure or illustration to the page.
Please note: All colour images will be converted to black and white unless you have prior agreement
with your commissioning editor that they will remain colour. Please supply artwork in greyscale.

Figures and illustrative material includes half-tones, glossy photographs, line drawings, maps and cover images. For
information on supplying tables see page 10.
Quick Checklist
- Label all electronic and original figures and illustrations clearly (such as Figure 1.2)
- Add captions to the text and indicate where they will appear (see page 9)
- Send us permissions with the figures or illustrative material; we cannot start the
editorial process without these documents (see page 15 for more details)
- Indicate clearly any cropping you require on the paper copy and ensure you
have the permission to crop the image
Do not embed the figures and illustrations in the text; removing them may
hold up the production process. Please save and supply separately from the text

Please Remember
Incorrectly supplied or poor quality fgures and illustrative material will affect
the production process and may adversely affect the quality of your book.

Landscape is sideways on the page
and ideally always full-page
Portrait is vertical on the page

Supplying Figures and Illustrative Material
All fgures and illustrations must be supplied ready for publication. See page 25 for a sample.
Supplying
electronically
all fgures and illustrations must be saved separately and individually
from the text, clearly labelled and accompanied by a paper copy
for example the fle name could be:
Fig 1.1.tif
Supplying
glossy prints or
transparencies
ensure all are clearly labelled on the back and indicate if they need
to be returned and to whom
Sizing please supply to the size they will be reproduced in the book, NOT smaller,

Format high resolution (at least 300 dpi) for photos including flm and video stills
high resolution (at least 1200 dpi) for line drawings, see Formats below
Numbering all fgures/illustrations must be numbered consecutively within each chapter,
for example in Chapter 1, illustrations would appear as:
Illustration 1.1, Illustration 1.2, Illustration 1.3 and so on
if they appear in the Introduction they would be prefxed with I, for example,
Illustration I.1, Illustration I.2, Illustration I.3
Where it will
appear
clearly indicate where it will appear in the text using square brackets and whether
it is portrait or landscape and we will place it as close to the indicator as possible
for example:
[insert Figure 2.1 here portrait]
Captions should be added to the text below the insert instruction, but remember the longer
the caption the less space there will be for the fgure or illustration
for example:
Figure 3.6 Percentage of minority workers in Asia
permissions/copyrights should appear on the List of Figures or List of Illustrations
pages not in the captions, unless specifed by the copyright holder
it is acceptable for the source to appear underneath the caption, for example:
Source: Adams 2001.
Permissions you must provide us with copies of all the relevant permissions copyright documentation,
see pages 3337 for the Permissions Forms, remembering to include the fgure or
illustration number to which the permission applies.
please remember cover images usually require their own speci.c permissions
we cannot publish the book unless we have all the correct permissions paperwork

Tables
Using Tables
An appropriate table can be extremely helpful. It can explain concepts or highlight an argument and break up
the text. However, it is not always necessary. Over-use of complex and lengthy tables can confuse the reader
and complicate your books layout.
Question Answer Action
Does it add to the text rather
than repeat what I have said?
yes/no check how much explanatory information you need to provide
with it
Have I obtained written
permission for copyright material?
yes/no if you are using someone elses table you may need to have
written permission; please check
Is the table too long? yes/no if it runs over more than one page, it is too long; check with
your commissioning editor
Have I only used original material? yes/no add source details if table information is not original

Placing in the Text
How to insert a table correctly
on the Table menu, select Insert, then Table
choose the number of columns and rows you require
select or highlight the table, go to Table Properties>Cell>Cell Options, uncheck Same as Whole Table box, enter
top and bottom as 0.5 cm (0. in) and left and right as 0.1 cm (0.04 in)
Columns must align consistently
check column totals add up correctly, add a note at the foot of the table if
fgures have been rounded up or down
Captions must be set above tables. Tables must be numbered consecutively in the text,
for example in Chapter 1: Table 1.1, Table 1.2, Table 1.3 and so on, for
example:
Table 1.1 Chinas Population 20062007
Dashes/en-rules () can be used instead of blank spaces within a column
Decimal points numbers containing decimal points must align on the decimal point
Ditto marks are not to be used
Line weight to be a minimum 0.5 pt font size
Notes regarding items in tables should be set below the last horizontal rule
Permissions you must provide us with all the relevant permissions/copyright
documentation, see pages 7 for the Permissions Request Forms
we cannot publish your book unless we have the correct paperwork
Source details need to follow any notes below the table
Format
All tables must be supplied ready for publication. See page 7 for a sample.

Music
Using Music
Question Answer Action
Do I own the copyright? yes/no remember, if you dont specifcally own the copyright someone else
will, please refer to guidelines supplied by your commissioning editor
on how to determine if music is in copyright
Have I obtained written
permission?
yes/no if you have not obtained written permission then it is unusable
Supplying and Placing in the Text
Please ensure you supply us with a sample before you supply your fnal typescript, see page 37.
Presentation most music examples should appear portrait (vertical on the page) as text can
fow around the music. Text cannot appear landscape (sideways on the page)
but long music examples or a series of short examples can
Where it will
appear
clearly indicate where each music example will appear in the typescript and
whether it is portrait or landscape
for example:
[insert Example 2.1 here portrait]
Music symbols
within the text
please use Bach font developed by Yo Tomita for all music appearing within the text
go to www.mu.qub.ac.uk/~tomita/bach-mf.html to download this free font,
for more information see page 7 or contact your commissioning editor
Numbering all music must be numbered consecutively within each chapter,
for example in Chapter 1, music would appear as:
Example 1.1, Example 1.2, Example 1.3, Example 1.4 and so on
It is not acceptable to simply number from 1 onwards e.g. Ex.1, Ex.2
Captions should be added to the text below the insert instruction e.g. [insert Example 1.1 here]
captions must not appear within the electronic music example fle (as they are part
of the text)
for example:
Example 2.1 Sonata by Beethoven
permissions/copyrights should appear in the List of Music Examples not in the
captions, unless otherwise specifed by the copyright holder
Checking all music examples must be carefully proofread before you supply them, as corrections at production
stage can be very expensive and may lead to you being invoiced.
Size all music examples must be sized to fall within the following text area and set according to
the following criteria:
max width 11 cm (4.33 in) stave height approx. 5 mm (between 4 and 6 mm)

Abbreviations avoid where possible, if you need to use them please write in full at the frst appearance with the
abbreviation in brackets. You may repeat an abbreviation if it reappears much later in your book.
abbreviations are usually expressed without full stops: GNP, USA.
contractions are abbreviations that end with the same letter as the original word, such as eds,
edn, Mr and Dr, and should not be followed by a full stop.
abbreviations that do not use the last letter, such as ed. or Ch., should have a full stop, hence,
eds (editors) and ed. (editor) are both correct.
units of measurement do not take a full stop (mm, kg) or a fnal s in the plural (70 cm, 100 g),
there should be a space between the number and the unit of measurement.
the abbreviations etc., i.e. and e.g. are usually best replaced by and so on, that is and for
example.
In references be consistent in the following:
upper and lower case (vol. 1, not Vol. 1, or vice versa)
spaces after characters (vol. 1, p. 1)
no spaces between initials (A.N. Author)
use of p. x for book and journal references.

Accents must be retained in foreign words, except French upper case.

For example: cole and Ecole.
Bold should be restricted to A headings and C Headings (bold italic) in your typescript, use italics and not
bold for emphasizing words within the text.
Capital letters should be used sparingly as they are diffcult to read in a block and reduce the importance of words
that need a capital.
use capitals to distinguish the specifc from the general: he is Professor of Economics at Oxford
University, but he is a professor at a university.
Captions should be in bold, brief and informative and preceded by the relevant number (see page 9), they
should be placed with the insertion instruction (see page 24) at the point in the text where the fgure/
illustration is to appear, unless your book is to have a plate section.
table captions should appear above the table.
for art titles, following the general comment on the image please list the artist, title (in italics), dimension
of the work (in cm with inches in brackets if needed), medium, date and source. For example:
1.2 William Smith, Lady Sara Fairfax (detail), 55 30.5 cm, oil on canvas, 1821, National
Portrait Gallery, London
Chapters should start a new page and be numbered 1, 2, 3 (Arabic numerals) and referred to in the text as
Chapter 1, Chapter , and so on.
Credit lines should be added to the List of Figures, Illustrations, Tables, Maps or Music in the prelim pages rather than
to the captions, unless the copyright holders specifcally request that credits be located in the captions.
Commas British English
should be omitted before the fnal and or or in
lists unless the meaning is ambiguous.
American English
should be included before the fnal and or or in
lists (also known as the oxford or serial comma).
use commas sparingly, for clarity, to avoid ambiguity or to divide a sentence.
Consistency is important throughout, in capitalization, abbreviations, hyphenation, reference styles, list styles, and so on.
Dashes/
en-dashes
en dashes () should be used rather than hyphens in date ranges and number spans, for example
192030; 4769. Also use in links such as costbeneft analysis. (See Shortcut Keys page 14)
British English
spaced en dashes not em dashes or hyphens
should be used for parenthetical comments.
American English
unspaced em dashesnot en dashes or hyphens
should be used for parenthetical comments.
Dates British English American English
should be written 18 August 2000 should be written August 18, 2000.
decades 1990s without an apostrophe.
Ellipses
(omission of
text)
the correct form for an ellipsis is with a character space either side, unless the ellipsis is followed by
a closing quotation mark or note reference number, which should be closed up to the ellipsis: thus .
(see Shortcut Keys page 14)
Foreign
language
short quotes (less than one line) should be provided with an English translation in the footnotes.
Longer quotes (more than one line) should be accompanied by a translation in square brackets [], set
below an indented quote or after the original in the text.
1
British and American alternatives are given where appropriate.
Please Note
Use either British or American English in your text.
A mixture of both is not acceptable and rectifying it can hold up the production process

1
Full stops
are not necessary after headings, subheadings, fgure captions, table headings or names and
addresses; see also Abbreviations.
Headings used to break up the text for the reader and as signposts for what is being covered in a particular
section.
every chapter should contain a logical sequence of main sections (which can be divided into further
subsections) preceded by a brief heading.
should have an initial capital for each major word and be unnumbered as far as possible.
avoid more than three levels of subheading in any chapter and ensure that your hierarchy of
headings is clear, for example:
if Fruit is an A heading, Apples and Pears would both be B headings (as they are subsets of the
main subject) and Granny Smith (a type of apple) would be a C heading.

Headings
(format for
typescript)
A headings are bold, on a new line with no extra lines of space above or below
B headings are italic, on a new line with no extra lines of space above or below
C headings are bold and italic, on a new line with no extra lines of space above or below
Hyphenation is being used less and is optional in many cases, for example: microeconomic, sociopolitical,
coordinate, subdivide.
Whether you choose to hyphenate a word or not, be consistent.
hyphenation should be used in dates only when these are adjectival: for example, seventeenth-
century England but in the seventeenth century.
do not introduce hyphens to spread words across lines.
turn off the auto-hyphenation facility in Word as it creates unnecessary and illogical word breaks.

Illustrations/
Figures/Music
should be supplied with captions and numbered consecutively within each chapter: for example,
Figure 1.1, Figure 1., Figure .1, and so on, (see pages 811)
Italics should be used for book and journal titles, newspapers, flms, plays, stage directions, foreign words/
phrases, songs etc. Use for emphasis only if absolutely necessary.
Language sexist language should not be used. Please substitute non-specifc pronouns that is they or
their or simply he or his rather than working on the assumption that the masculine pronoun
also denotes women. This also avoids the clumsy use of s/he or he/she.
racist language should not be used.
avoid colloquialism this is especially applicable to collections of conference proceedings which have
been presented in the form of lectures; spoken language needs to be formalized when presented in
written form.
avoid ambiguity, tautology, mixed metaphors and repetition.
replace parochialisms such as in this country with the country name.
be precise in identifying periods of time: in the last century, at the turn of the century are phrases
which now need to be clarifed.
Please refrain from the use of jargon or obscure language.

Lists use one style for major lists and a second for lists within major lists. It is best to start major lists with
numerals or bullets and then move on to letters or dashes, for example:
1. American
2. European
a. French
b. German
. Asian.
Alternatively, bullet points may be used. The sentence before a list should end with a colon and, unless
the items in the list include multiple sentences, only the fnal entry should end with a full stop.
Numbers below 11 should be written out in full unless they are accompanied by a unit of measurement, for
example: 3 kg, 5 m or 2 per cent but two girls, and so on.
numbers that begin a sentence should always be spelled out.
numbers over ten should appear in fgures, unless they are used in general terms: for example,
about a hundred people.
numbers of centuries should also be spelled out (nineteenth century).
numbers with four or more digits should be separated by commas (4,000, 400,000).
decimal points should appear as full stops on the line: for instance, 10.1.
for zero and one please use number keys not the letter keys O and I.
billion is now used in its American meaning of a thousand million.
Numbers should be elided rather than written out in full: for example, 223 not 2223. However, this
does not apply to teens (use 1213 rather than 123) or when the frst number ends in zero, thus

14
Numbers
(continued)
4043 rather than 403 and 100103 rather than 1003, the fnal part of dates should always be
written as 194446 (not 19446) although it is best to write dates in full in headings: thus 19441946.
Please use en dashes () instead of hyphens (-).
Parentheses
( )
used for simple interpolations, with square brackets [ ] used for editorial notes, translations in the text
or interpolations in quotations.
Part pages use Roman numerals, for example: Part I, Part II, Part III.
Per cent written in full in text but shown as % in tables and fgures. For US authors percent is acceptable.
Play
references
should be given as Act I, scene , and so on. Shakespearian references should be set as follows:
Hamlet, III, ii, 1; Henry VI, III, ii, 14.
Plurals do not use apostrophes for plurals 1950s, MPs unless the usage is possessive.
Possessive ss should be used Keyness, Joness except in classical and biblical names: thus Theophilus, Moses,
Jesus.
Pre-decimal
currency (UK)
should be formatted thus: , s, d.
Quotations/
extracts
must be an exact reproduction of the original in both spelling and punctuation.
single quotation marks for extracts of less than 50 words that appear within the text.
longer quotes should be set as a separate paragraph and without quotation marks.
notes or editorial comments within extracts should appear in square brackets and any omission
should be indicated by an ellipsis (see page 1), with a space either side.
source or acknowledgement should always be included, whether in the introductory sentence, in
brackets at the end of the quote or in a note.
see also Your Text and the Law (page 15).
fnal punctuation should come before the source in brackets in displayed quotations/extracts.

Quotation
marks
British English
should be single
double only for quotes within quotes
closing quotation mark should precede any
punctuation, unless the text quoted forms a complete
sentence.
For example: He commented that it was the best of
times, but He commented: It was the best of times.
American English
should be double
single only for quotes within quotes
closing quotation mark should follow any
punctuation.
For example: He commented that it was the
best of times, and He commented: It was the
best of times.
Use curly () (smart) quotation marks, not straight ones (`).
Shortcut Keys Use these to save time, for example:
Ellipsis Press Control + Alt + full stop keys together
En-dash Press and hold Alt + number keys 0151 (remember to have number lock on)
Em-dash Press and hold Alt + number keys 0150 (remember to have number lock on)
Spacing Use only one space between words and after commas, full stops and semi-colons.
Spelling British English
Use the ize suffx (e.g organization rather than
organisation). If unsure about any spellings, refer to
the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) and use the frst
variant quoted.
American English
Use the ize suffx (organization rather than
organisation).
For example, color, favorite, program.
Superscript
note numbers
should be set after punctuation, unless the reference refers to text within brackets, when the symbol
should be within the bracket.

Your Text and the Law
Copyright and Permissions
Copyright law is an imprecise area. We strongly recommend that you read the Society of Authors and Publishers
Association guidelines; go to www.societyofauthors.org and www.publishers.org.uk.

The commonly applied rule of permission being required only when quoting in excess of 400 words or 40 lines
should not be relied upon. If in doubt, seek permission for any published material. Copyright material published
in the UK lasts for the authors lifetime plus 70 years. In the frst instance, applications should be made directly
to the original publisher rather than to the author of the piece; see pages 7 for our Permissions Request
Forms. Acknowledgement of source, author and publisher is essential.
e-Books and Permissions
Your book will be published in print form and there is a strong likelihood that your book will also be published in
e-Book form. Please therefore ensure that you obtain permission from copyright holders to use their material
for both print and electronic publication.
Fonts
Fonts can have copyright issues too. Please see page 7, supply us with a font sample if necessary and any
written documentation such as purchase or licence agreements.
Illustrations and Permissions
All illustrations (and cover images) requiring permission must be supplied with one or more of the following:
cleared permissions from the copyright owner of the work. You may incur a copyright fee
cleared permissions from the gallery or institution that owns the work being reproduced. You may be required
to pay a reproduction or use fee and accompany the illustration with a credit line
cleared permissions from the photographer/photographic library. This may incur a copyright and a
reproduction or use fee
Please be aware that some institutions (for example, the Tate) stipulate that any reproduction of work in their
collection must be made from their own transparency/print/electronic fle.
Film and Video Stills
These may be used providing they follow the principles of fair dealing and are not included for decorative
purpose. You must determine whether or not fair dealing applies to your use of a still and obtain permission
from the copyright holder(s) and pay all fees. They may only be used on book covers if you have the necessary
copyright permission. Stills must be provided in a format and to a quality acceptable to Ashgate (see page 9).
Internet Permissions
Screen images from the Internet are not necessarily in the public domain (or good enough quality to reproduce):
always check with the copyright holder, for example copyright for text and images found on Wikipedia remain
with the orginator, not the website and the copyright holder must be contacted if you want to use it.
Libel
Please ensure that you do not make any defamatory or injurious statement about living persons, institutions or
other organizations that could result in libel claims.
Music Permissions
Please refer to the separate guidelines on Music and Copyright supplied by your commissioning editor. Do be
aware that music can still be under copyright 70 years after a composer died. Please contact your commissioning
editor for any further advice.
Plagiarism
If you copy all or part of someone elses work and put it in your book without crediting them, then you are
plagiarising, even if you amend the original wording. If you use someone elses work you must make it clear
you have done so.

Documentation
When permission has been granted, you should keep the original on fle throughout the life of the book,
and send a photocopy to us when delivering your text. Any requested special acknowledgements should be
included in your Preface or in a separate acknowledgements page.
Please Remember
It is your responsibility to seek written permission for any work in copyright,
and also to settle any relevant fees, which can take considerable time to process.
Permissions must be cleared and your paperwork in order when you submit your fnal text.
Please ensure you apply early.

After You Have Delivered Your Typescript
The Production Process
we receive your typescript
and it is assessed by your
commissioning editor
your typescript is allocated to an editor
who works with the Production team to
ensure the project runs smoothly
proofreading is undertaken by a freelancer under
your editors guidance
the freelancer or your editor will contact you with details of any
queries that have arisen
once all queries are resolved, your editor will typeset your typescript
low-resolution PDF proofs will be emailed to you for checking and indexing (see pages 3031), if
you are not preparing your index, your editor will book a freelancer and invoice you (see page 19)
it is essential you check the proofs very carefully at this stage to ensure that you are happy with the text
it is also your responsibility to insert page numbers in the text where there are cross-references, in place
of see pp. 000000
if we have arranged the index for you, you will be emailed a copy to approve
your editor completes all fnal checks and your
text is sent to the printer
if your text is being
peer or series editor
reviewed please allow
a at least 46 weeks,
further revision may be
required
Unless there are exceptional circumstances, it is important
that only typographical errors are corrected at this stage.
You may be charged for excess proof corrections (see paragraph 9 of your contract).

Please Remember
Figures/illustrations/music integrated in the text will be low resolution and not
representative of the fnished quality when printed.

it is then catalogued with the

British Library and
Library of Congress,
this can take up to 12 weeks

the marketing
questionnaire will be
sent to you
your editor will contact
you to outline your
books schedule

If your book is to be also published as an e-book you will only receive proofs of the printed version
as the e-book is identical to the printed version.

Proof Corrections
Indicating Proof Corrections
You will be emailed a proof of your book as a low-resolution PDF. You can either check it onscreen or print it
out. Remember that any non-text material such as fgures or illustrations will not appear as they will in the fnal
book as the resolution is low at this stage. Line numbers will be provided at the side of the text.
We will also email you an Author Proof Correction Form. Please use this to indicate any vital corrections and
return by email. This is the easiest format for us from which to input your corrections, see below.
Page Line
(not including running head)
Correction
1 4
add [the] so sentence reads:
the apple tree was just over the gate.

delete from book title:
The Tempest
Indicating Proof Corrections
Please do not print out all the proofs, mark them up then post them back to us.
Please do not use Acrobat Professional to mark up the PDF onscreen. It is also a very time-consuming method
for us to fnd corrections. Desk editors do not currently have this software so this will also hold up the production
process.
Please Note
You submitted a fnal typescript ready for publication.
As such, excessive corrections at proof stage should not be necessary.
Making extensive corrections at this stage is extremely time-consuming and can affect other areas such
as indexing. This will affect the production schedule and you may be charged for the additional work.

Chapter Title
illuminates the possibility of the virgin Jewish daughter as a fgure of sexual and
religious deception. Yet The Jew of Malta collapses this internal/external binary
as well, representing the Christian nuns as sexually illicit and Abigail as a fgure
symbolic of truth, a Judaic essence, desired by Christian and Jew. It is specifcally
in her capacity as a Jewish virgin that Abigail plays out Protestant concerns about
the disclosure of scriptural veritas. Both the virginal and maternal body reveal
and obscure: as we have seen, early modern drama also represents the Jewish
maternal body ambivalently as an overdetermined site of truth and deception.
The Jewish mother is an important fgure of disclosureBethsabes promise of
a rightful heir that signifes Davids redemption, Rebeccas deliverance of the
true elect in Jacobas well as a body that stands in the way of the Christian
readers apprehension of what they believed to be the scriptures true meanings. At
key moments in The Jew of Malta this mother returns, fgured metaphorically in
Abigails maturing body and in the image of the womb that is the lethal container
at the plays conclusion.
It is not insignifcant that the plays stage run was concurrent with another
Jewish body on display for a general audience. Marlowes tragedy enjoyed over
6 performances between 1592-96, the years surrounding the 1594 trial and
execution of Elizabeths doctor, Rodrigo Lopez who was charged with attempting
to poison the queen. For the audiences that focked to the theater, The Jew of Malta
played out in high theatrics, like Lopezs body drawn and quartered in a London
courtyard, a retributive strike against the Jewish body, a symbol of treachery and
blood miscegenation. I want to also consider Abigails body as a spectacle to be
scrutinized by Christian readers. In early modern discourse, however, the body
of the Jewish woman is given value as a coherent site of meaning that must be
pursued and penetrated. The physical presence of the Jewish woman manipulates
the sensibilities of her Christian viewers (on stage and in the paying audience); as
it did during Elizabeths pageants, playing the Jewish woman on stage suggests
the authenticity of the Jewish historical past as well as the inherent limitations of
such representations as theatrical show. Abigails body is the plays focal point as
it comments on and parodies modes of reading and interpretation. Her theatrics
threaten to undercut Christian claims to playne meaning by their suggestion
of the Jews exclusively possession of such a scriptural truth. Ultimately, both
Abigail and Barabas exit the play as physical spectacles that evoke and subvert
exegetical readings of the Jewish father and his sacrifced daughter as types of
Christ: the simulacrum of sacrifce promises a totalizing moment, the delivery
of meaning, but their respective deaths, like Barabass allusion to Agamemnon,
mocks this Christological archetype.
Abigails father and Father
The play begins with a sudden assault on Barabas. To procure the tribute they
owe to the Turkish Caliphate, the Christian governor Ferneze imposes fnes on
the infdel (1.2.62) Jews, whom he describes as cursed and thus deserving of

Indexing
Before submitting your typescript you will agree with your commissioning editor whether you are compiling
the index yourself or if you would like us to arrange a professional index for you (which you will be invoiced
for).
As the fnal index is completed after proof stage, the advice below is a just a brief outline; please ask us for
a copy of the Indexing Guidelines for further information.
You are Compiling the Index
If you have agreed to complete the index, you may compile it (minus the page numbers) at any time. It
may save you time to compile a key word list before your submit your typescript, although you do not
need to submit it with your typescript (see the Indexing Guidelines, available from your commissioning
editor and editor for help).
At proof stage you will only need to add the page numbers. You can fnd page numbers quickly by using the
Find or Search facility in Acrobat Reader (the software which opens your PDF proof):
press Control+F or Shift+Control+F or the binocular button on the toolbar
either a Find box or a Search window will appear
type in your word or phrase and press search and a list of page numbers will be shown
We are Arranging the Index
If you have asked us to arrange a freelancer index, then all our freelance indexers prefer that you
do not compile any draft indexes. It does not help them to have a list of names, places or concepts to
incorporate into the index. It will only cause delays and can add extra costs.
Please rest assured that all our indexers are professional and have many years of indexing experience.
The cost is c.1.60 ($3) per page of proofs (2008 rate); for example a 300-page book would cost 480
($900).

Please Remember
Indexing can only be completed when your text has been typeset, as the fnal
pagination will be different from the original page numbering.
Please Note
The Chicago Manual of Style suggests an index length should be 25 per cent of the length of the book.
According to these specifcations, a 300-page text would have an index of between 6 and 15 pages.
An over-detailed index will confuse the reader.
0
E-books
We have a developing programme for e-book publishing. If your book has been selected for inclusion in the
e-book programme you may fnd the following information provides a useful guide. If you are unsure as to
whether your title will be made available as an e-book, please contact your commissioning editor.
What is an E-Book?
It is the electronic form of your printed book which facilitates limited copying and printing. It is low resolution
so any fgures or illustrations cannot be copied or printed from it. All our e-books are sold on a Perpetual
Access basis via third party aggregators and library suppliers, for example, the institutional library does not
directly hold the e-book PDF, they purchase access to the e-book which is held on a fully secured server. There
are different models used for purchasing but we only allow a small amount of a text to be printed. Some third
party vendors allow the e-book to be downloaded but on a fxed time basis after which access to the fle is
terminated.
Security
The servers on which the e-book fles are held are all fully secured with encryption technology and coding to
stop any unauthorized access of the PDF.
Editorial
You wont receive proofs for your e-book as it is exactly the same as your printed book. There will be no
opportunity to add something to the e-book that wasnt in the printed book. The two versions must be
identical.
Permissions
If you have obtained permission for an image/table/fgure/piece of text in your printed book, you will also need
the source of the permission to agree its subsequent use in e-book format. This applies to all sourced material
from reprinted chapters to images. The permission forms on pages 5 and 7 include electronic permissions.
Costs of Permissions
It may be the case that you are charged a higher fee for any sourced material that includes electronic permission;
this is something to be considered by you when selecting any sourced material in your text.
Who Sells our E-Books
Currently we are working with three third party suppliers/aggregators:
Dawsonera (www.dawsonera.com)
Myilibrary (www.myilibrary.com)
ebrary (www.ebrary.com)
We hope to increase our coverage of the world market with further aggregators and library suppliers over time.
Currently we do not sell e-books directly into the market.
Royalties
The author will receive any e-book royalties along with any accrued print royalties.
Promotion
The availability of an e-book will be indicated on our website (www.ashgate.com) and other promotional
materials. Individual aggregators will also market titles in their collections.

1
Marketing and Sales
Our aim is to work with you to promote your book as effectively as we can. The following explains exactly how
we will market your book and what you can do to help promote your work.
The Marketing Questionnaire
The questionnaire is emailed to you when we receive your typescript package. If you havent received it, or
have mislaid it, please contact Nicole Norman (see page ).
Please ensure you give detailed answers when completing the questionnaire. It is vital to the successful
promotion of your book as it is the starting point for your books marketing plan. We look at the list of journals
you suggest and use it for the basis of the reviews list. We note the conferences you will be attending and any
specialist societies, mailing lists, events or exhibitions you give details of and follow up leads you provide.
Good Reviews
We prepare a review list for your book based on your suggestions from your marketing questionnaire and our
contacts and database of journals and reviewers. If you have colleagues who write for learned journals or
national newspapers, tell us about them and we will contact them about reviewing the book. We aim to send
out 1015 review copies from the UK and the US marketing offces.
Academic journals can take from six months to two years to review a book. National newspaper coverage is
extremely diffcult and generally unlikely unless the book happens to be particularly newsworthy or topical.
Copies of published reviews are usually mailed to Ashgate. We keep a copy on fle and send a copy to you. We read
all the published reviews and highlight positive remarks and comments. Quotes are added to our database and
the Ashgate website and will be used in future catalogues.
A positive review is one of the best ways of infuencing someone to buy your book.
Pre-Publication Endorsements
Good reviews help to sell your book, so too will an endorsement from a senior scholar in your feld. Please
speak to your commissioning editor about any ideas you may have for people to approach.
Direct Mailing
Every new book published features in one or more (if your book is interdisciplinary) of our annual subject
catalogues and new titles updates. These are mailed to an extensive international list of academics, libraries,
booksellers, library suppliers, wholesalers, reps, agents and relevant specialist journals. They are also sent to
relevant conferences throughout the year. PDF versions of our catalogues are available at www.ashgate.com.
A further key component of our strategy is the use of smaller, subject specifc leafets and fyers for individual
books which are targeted at an international audience of academics and libraries but focused on subject
specialisms relevant to your book. This mix of catalogue, leafet and fyer exposure ensures your book reaches
a large international audience on a regular basis.
If you you are attending a conference and you would like catalogues, leafets or fyers please contact the
marketing department (see page 32).
Please Remember
Do complete your marketing questionnaire.
Please answer all questions in full to ensure we do not miss any important marketing opportunities.
The sooner you return the questionnaire, the more time we have to plan a marketing strategy for your book.

Conferences
Conferences provide an important opportunity to promote your book. Our commissioning and marketing staff
attend over 100 international conferences a year. If you attend a conference or give a paper yourself, please let
us know and we will provide you with marketing materials and display copies of your book.
Please ensure you contact us at least a month in advance giving the name of the conference, contact numbers
and email addresses of the organizers.
Advertisements
We advertise in the key scholarly journals and conference programmes that are most likely to reach the
audience for your book. Occasionally we advertise selected titles in the Times Literary Supplement, the Times
Higher Educational Supplement or other publications. But generally we prefer a more targeted approach using
catalogues, leafets and fyers to advertising in newspapers.
Internet Promotion
Every Ashgate book is featured on www.ashgate.com prior to publication, until it goes out of print. Sample
pages are also available on the website for all new titles. Customers can search for titles or browse by subject
area and purchase books direct. All orders placed through the Ashgate website receive a discount.
Our books are also available through all major online booksellers who receive information from Ashgate and
bibliographic data suppliers. We provide full information, including jackets scans, to these suppliers on a
monthly basis. All titles are also included in Amazons Search Inside! [a book] programme, which means
that sample pages are available to view on www.amazon.co.uk and www.amazon.com shortly after the book is
published. We were also one of the frst publishers to participate in the Google Print project enabling readers
to view the relevant page from a book through a keyword search in a Google search engine.
Monthly email updates are sent to subscribers. All new books are featured in at least one update with a link
directly to the books page at www.ashgate.com.
Book Launches
Experience has taught us that book launches are not necessarily the best way to advertise your book. Generally
we prefer to concentrate on targeted marketing and promotion for your book. There are exceptions, of course,
and occasionally we might work with you and a conference organizer to host a reception.
Bookshops and Library Suppliers
Due to the specialist nature of our books, a large proportion of sales will be made to libraries. Libraries obtain
their books, for the most part, through a specialist branch of the book trade known as library suppliers. We
have active relationships with all the major library suppliers worldwide, and we ensure that they have all the
information about our books that they require. Our UK Sales department also works closely with a network
of international reps and agents to service the needs of customers throughout the world. Our US offce deals
directly with customers in North and South America.
North America
The USA and Canada is a major market for Ashgate books. We have our own US offce based in Vermont which
carries out comprehensive sales, marketing and distribution activities in North and South America. A small but
growing number of our commissioning editors are based there.

How Can I Help Sell My Book?

Complete the marketing questionnaire, including as much information as possible,
for example, supplying full names and addresses of any Book Reviews editors.
Circulate the fyer we send you to your colleagues, university librarian and campus bookshop.
Talk to your friends and colleagues about your book. Tell your librarian and your students.
Update your online biography on your institutions website mentioning your book and
include a link to your book on www.ashgate.com and add it to your email signature.
Annouce the publication of your book on any list servs to which you regularly participate.
If you come across marketing opportunities at exhibitions, events or
conferences call or email us with the relevant information.
Remember to be realistic about your books audience. It is unlikely your local bookshop
will stock your book, but if your book is likely to become recommended reading for
a university course, we can encourage your campus bookstore to stock it.

Sample Music Example
How to Supply Music Examples Correctly
Remember:
the music must be saved at high resolution (100 dpi or over)
do not include the caption within the music example fle; add it to the text below the insert instruction e.g.
[insert Ex. 3.1 here]
ensure all the fonts are embedded within the PDF, if supplying in this format (EPS and TIF fles are also
acceptable) (see page 11)
See below for how the music example will appear in the fnal text.

Ex. 3.1 Sehnsucht nach Italien

Please Remember (if you print this page)
The above example is to represent how the music example will appear in your fnal text but as this Author
Pack is written for the internet the quality above is low resolution, whereas on the printed page music
examples are high resolution. For more information contact Heidi Bishop.

Sample Table
How to Supply Tables Correctly
Remember:
the table should be created in the same software as the text, ideally in Word
ensure the table captions are above the table
ensure columns are clearly laid out and total columns add up (if they contain totals)
See below for an example of how you need to supply a table.

Chapter 1
The Fairfaxes of Haldon
John Fredericks
On 18 August 1642, Sir John Fairfax, the seventh Earl of Haldon, was married at the
Church of St John in the neighbouring parish of Smithfeld.
1
His bride was the 18-year-
old Elizabeth Ferrers, daughter of the Duke of West Sussex.
The Fairfax Dynasty
Sir Thomas Fairfax was ennobled shortly after the Battle of Bosworth in August 1485.
His eldest son, Harry, was a long-serving member of the court of Henry VIII among
other roles.
2
In 1520 he married Lady Sarah Chivers, who brought with her some 1,250
gold pieces.
However, in September 1521, she died in childbirth, leaving Sir Harry childless. He
remarried in 1525, and at his death in 1540 was succeeded to the title by his second son,
Henry, aged 12, after his eldest boy, Thomas Robert Fairfax, was killed in a riding accident.
It was the early death of Thomas that caused the alcoholism of Lord Fairfax, and which
endangered the -future of Halden [sic] Hall. It was only due to the good management of
Lady Mary ... that the entire estate remained intact [my emphasis].
The lavish expenditure on wedding presents was recorded by Robert Jones,
the familys steward, and is illustrated in Table 1.1. With respect to music theory,
Schoenbergs divergent opinions from Schenker, Riemann, and Kurth attest to an
authoritarian attitude towards theoretical issues and, by extension, the originality of
ideas. Particularly interesting for the present study are his claims about his original
analytical insights.

Figure 1.1 The view from Thomas Robert Fairfaxs castle
According to the theoretical tradition evoked by Althusser, ideology is not the
opposite of truth.
Outline and research argumentation
The foregoing observations suggest the need for an evaluation of Schoenberg as
a music theorist. However, as already mentioned, a conclusive assessment of
Schoenbergs career as music theorist is not completely feasible. Nevertheless, many
attempts have been made to put Schoenbergs ideas together in a coherent theoretical
approach. From this proposed outline, I believe that a reasonably clear picture of
Schoenberg as a music theorist may be grasped.
The tradition of German music Chapter briefy explores some aspects of
Schoenbergs inherited knowledge of nineteenth-century music theory focusing on
the theories of A.B. Marx and Simon Sechter. His main contribution to music theory is
presented in the four-volume composition manual, Die Lehre von der musikalischen
Komposition, praktisch-theoretisch, published between 1837 and 1847. Krmer has
made a general comparison between Marxs theory of form and that of Schoenberg.

the tonic may be suffcient, but it is usually better to elaborate a little more
