Simmel Citation
Hmmmmm............. so when we were doing The Stranger article by Simmel I found it on the web - thought it would be easy enough to cite. I go back to it to learn that it comes from a book by Kurt Wolff (Trans.) I suppose I can figure out how to put it in my references but which author do I use? Simmel - who wrote the article? Or Wolff who I guess created this book? Or translated it?

Good question, that. Let's say that "The Stranger" is a classic and has been reprinted so very many times that we do not care about the publisher or the page number and also let's say that you read the whole thing and you do not have to be citing that you read it in someone else's "secondary source."
ReplyDeleteHence, you can just quote Simmel, Georg and the title of the piece and the date it was ORIGINALLY published - and that will be adequate.
Bitchin and Cool and Rad .... thank you!!!!! It is so funny how you go along writing and happy enough but not perfectly happy and then something snaps and you delete a line and add another and all of a sudden you are loving it!! (Such a dork, me.) I am now content and can watch the Academy Awards in PEACE!!! LOL
