How to Write a Thesis is a practical and reflective academic writing handbook by Umberto Eco, first published in Italian in 1977 and later issued in English by MIT Press. Written for students facing a major university thesis, especially in the humanities and social sciences, it explains how to choose a topic, conduct research, organize sources, take notes, structure arguments, and prepare a finished manuscript. The book belongs to the genre of academic writing manuals, but it differs from many technical guides because Eco treats the thesis as both a scholarly exercise and an intellectual apprenticeship. Some of its references to typewriters, library catalogues, and index cards reflect a pre digital academic world, yet the underlying principles remain relevant. Eco is less concerned with formatting rules than with how students learn to think rigorously, define a manageable research problem, respect sources, and produce a sustained written argument.
