You should divide your essay into two parts. The first (about 1\/3 of your paper) should summarize the book\u2019s main argument and contributions to the field. This is not, however, a summary of the content of the book. Rather, you want to establish what Browning does with his argument that sheds new light on the topic. Essentially, it is a summary of Browning\u2019s argument.&nbsp;What is he trying to do?&nbsp; The second (2\/3 of your paper) should be your own analysis and criticism of the argument, sources, or anything else.&nbsp;This second part of your paper should engage Browning head-on and question his analysis, sources, or place in the historiography. You want to be constructive but critical at the same time. You should consider some of the following questions: What point is Browning trying to make?&nbsp; Why is the point important?&nbsp; What types of historical approaches does he employ (social, cultural, economic etc.)?&nbsp; How does he use evidence?&nbsp; The best criticisms challenge the central thesis of the book or show that the author missed an important component of the story.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span style=\"cursor: auto;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"cursor: auto;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"cursor: auto;\"><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 25px; cursor: auto;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\">Excellent:<\/strong><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span>A paper with an A grade will clearly identify the book\u2019s thesis and will critically and thoroughly analyze the author\u2019s argument, evidence, methodology, and conclusions.
