The Tag Glossary: A

ADDRESS, a sub-element within PLACE, captures the specific address where a person lived or where a specific and significant event occurred. It is available within Biography and Writing tagsets and in freestanding events, and is placed around one or more AddrLine. AddrLine is a required sub-element before words are allowed. Address has two optional attributes, Current and Reg.

The following types of information can be captured under address:

• Private house names (a British phenomenon) and numbered street address.
• Street names and squares when they act as addresses and not placenames.
• Lanes, Terraces, Places, Walks
• Parts of streets: i.e., Upper Wimpole Street [Note: provide Reg attribute for "Wimpole" in order to ensure the address is indexed in the appropriate place.

ADVERTISING, available anywhere in WRITING documents though belonging conceptually with the PRODUCTION aspect, attends to the details surrounding the promotion and marketing of a text. For instance, you may want to discuss examples of interesting publicity or promotional stunts. This element has no mandatory or optional sub-elements or attributes.

An element in WRITING > PRODUCTION. It has no mandatory or optional attributes or sub-elements, dates, and other significant writers' names. This element creates a record of a work's selection for and appearance in anthologies; it contains relevant details surrounding significant instances when a text is anthologized (how it's framed; how it's described; how frequently it is chosen). Used (not exclusively) for inclusion in important modern or contemporary collections (e.g. Gilbert and Gubar, Palgrave, Norton), or for first or significant appearance in historical ones.

This element belongs in WRITING > PRODUCTION. It contains at least a sentence of information about where significant copies/manuscripts (of her work) or evidence about her resides. It should contain a tagged PLACE (e.g. public library at Northallerton) or an ORGNAME (Folger Shakespeare Library) except in occasional instances of privately owned or equivalent. This element offers data for tracking mss or significant printed copies, collections now extant, copies historically lost or found or only heard of.

Belonging to PLACE, a core tag globally available and the largest bucket holding together the sub-elements defining location, AREA encloses geographical locations more expansive and complex than those captured by the GEOG tag, such as continents. It has two optional attributes, CURRENT and REG.

PATTITUDES, an element belonging with the PRODUCTION material but available anywhere in WRITING documents, is better expressed with the lengthy phrase: attitudes to gender, writing, gender and writing, or writing as a woman. It captures comments on a writer's beliefs and assumptions about the practice and profession of writing and the relationship of gender to it. Her attitudes may be surmised from her own specific comments about what writing means to her, or from a very general reading of her oeuvre. It captures material less goal-oriented than the element PMOTIVES, which deals with particular reasons for writing. PATTITUDES has no mandatory or optional sub-elements or attributes.

AUTHORSUMMARY is placed at the opening of WRITING discussions. As the equivalent of a Div1, it occurs outside any Div1, standing on its own. It is devised for researchers to make summary statements about an author before opening individual PRODUCTION, RECEPTION, or TEXTUALFEATURES elements. You are encouraged to use this element to preface the writing document of each woman writer. It is useful both for minor writers about whom little is known, and for major writers whose work needs to be summarized before launching into the details. It must be as brief as possible, while situating its subject as to period, most characteristic genres, and reasons for interest in her. It allows use of three main sub-elements: EXTENTOFOEUVRE, GENRENAME, and GENERICRANGE. If you need to say more, then move into a PRODUCTION, RECEPTION, or TEXTUALFEATURES element. The usual Div1 inclusions are also available within AUTHORSUMMARY: NAME, DATE, PLACE, and ORGNAME.

PAUTHORSHIP is available within WRITING > PRODUCTION. It enables discussion of issues surrounding a text's authorship. Encloses statement or debate, defined in the relevant attributes: AuthornameType, AuthorshipControversy, ControversyDate, and Collaboration.

This sub-element is found in BIOGRAPHY > EDUCATION.It captures important educational awards given to future writers, and contains the name of the award, or occasionally a sentence concerning it. It has optional attributes of AWARDTYPE and REG. REG allows us to regularize the name of an award when we have not been able to express it in a standard form in the prose.
