Peer Review By Beth Huckabee

You did a great job formatting the article with the info box etc. It would have been great to have an image of the cover of the book in the article. The lead is well written. I would fix "The Beauty of a Husband was Anne Carson seventh book" to "The Beauty of a Husband is Anne Carson's seventh book". I love the comparison of Carson's writing style to an 'erotic dance'. I also applaud you for the choice of quote in the Theme section. This quote seems to represent the book well.

The structure of the article is solid. The sections are in a good order for readers. I didn't know that Carson was the first woman to win the T.S. Eliot Prize. Thank you for including that factoid in the article. The sources seem to be legitimate and credible after looking through a couple. You did a great job writing and formatting this article. I would just do some minor grammar and mechanic changes but other than that, it is great. Snappedrain23 (talk) 16:50, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

• Cbrown98, you really need to explain what "tango" is, and what it means for a poem. Dr Aaij (talk) 01:06, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Brief Review

Lead So far, the lead is straight forward and contains plenty of citations. There was a decent job done on the book description as well.

Structure I think that the structure can be more organized and under the Style and Theme heading. Also, underneath the background heading, I think there should be more details on the notebooks that were taken and maybe state why. It would be a great idea to put information on why the divorce happened, emotions, and the story of when the books were returned back to her.

Balanced Coverage Some parts of the text are more covered than others....there should be more information provided on the entire concept or maybe on what the author was trying to portray.

Neutral Content "Merkin who is known as an amazing scholar" The word amazing is more of a personal opinion. Other than that, everything else is more neutral.

Reliable Sources Lastly, the resources look strong and they provide the information to back up your statements. Jade8068 (talk) 17:18, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Peer review

In reviewing Beauty of a Husband the introduction of the article was clear because the details were short and to the point. The lead did not reflect the most important information, I wanted to know what was the husband's beauty. The structure was not clear the writer was married to a man that portrayed himself with no morals, she said she was in love with his beauty. I would have understood it better if the writer's statement of her husband's morals were detailed.

The title did not reflect the subject, because it did not focus on the husband's beauty. The article was neutral because it was written without any attempt to persuade the reader. The statements in the article are connected with with reliable sources because I checked the sources.(Kt rogers (talk) 18:24, 28 June 2019 (UTC))
