4. Each entry consists of 2 elements Marshall, William H. “Queen Mab: The Inconsistency of Ahasuerus.” Modern Language Notes 74 (1959): 397–400. This short essay points out an inconsistency within the text of Mab. Marshall shows that Shelley has two uses for the Wandering Jew, one traditional and one poetic. In various other works he uses the character in one of these guises, but in Mab he uses both, and the one destroys the other. That this is a condemnation of Shelley’s skill and purpose in the poem is immaterial; the important thing is that it shows a bit more Shelley’s internal struggle in composing Mab, his inability to make the poem come off as he desired.

12. Carver, Ronald P. “Effect of a ‘Chunked’ Typography on Reading Rate and Comprehension.” Journal of Applied Psychology 54.3 (1970): 288–296. SocINDEX with Full Text. Web. 10 Feb. 2013. Carver’s article investigates whether spatial “chunking” has an effect on reading efficiency in adults. His findings show that chunking does not have an effect on reading. However, his studies instead demonstrate that capitalization formatting effect reading rate. This article is not completely relevant to my topic since it only discusses adults; however, it does present a good point of discussion regarding formatting and “chunking” of words. This article also brings up the effects of capitalization and its effect on reading speed which could be a good subtopic to investigate in my review. Carver studies equal numbers of male and female college students in his paper making his research more substantial. Carver is a published author in the Journal of Applied Psychology and has written several papers on reading comprehension and reading speed. Since this article was published in 1970, it therefore would be used to discuss past studies on reading comprehension. Overall, the quality is substantial, and state clear results.
