Grammar, Usage / Referencing: Listing chapter titles in continuous prose [6]
I am currently writing an essay and I would like advice on how to list book chapter titles within prose.
Let say, for example, a book is written about the UK. Its chapters are as follows:
Chapter 1 - The Weather
Chapter 2 - The Culture
Chapter 3 - British History
Author: A.B. Example (2007)
I am interested to know how I would list these when writing in continuous prose, particularly whether with regards to the use of inverted commas and capital letters.
My gut instinct tells me to write:
"Example (2007) writes about many different aspects of his life, easily differentiating his book into chapters, including amongst others: the weather, the culture and British history."
or
"Example (2007) writes about many different aspects of his life, easily differentiating his book into chapters, including: 'The Weather', 'The Culture' and 'British history'."
Thanks a lot.
