I am turning "The Art of Writing" by Robert Louis Stevenson
<ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext96/artow10.txt> into
XML using "gutbook1.dtd" and "darwin.css".
Do I use the "name" element every time I encounter a proper name? For
example, which name(s) -- if any -- would I label in the following
paragraph (from "The Art of Writing)?:
But let us select them from the pages of the same
writer, one who was ambidexter; let us take, for instance,
Rumour's Prologue to the Second Part of HENRY IV., a fine
flourish of eloquence in Shakespeare's second manner, and set
it side by side with Falstaff's praise of sherris, act iv.
scene iii.; or let us compare the beautiful prose spoken
throughout by Rosalind and Orlando; compare, for example, the
first speech of all, Orlando's speech to Adam, with what
passage it shall please you to select - the Seven Ages from
the same play, or even such a stave of nobility as Othello's
farewell to war; and still you will be able to perceive, if
you have an ear for that class of music, a certain superior
degree of organisation in the prose; a compacter fitting of
the parts; a balance in the swing and the return as of a
throbbing pendulum.
Would I (or how would I) label the title HENRY IV? Any help will be
appreciated.
