All MA and PhD students are required to submit a thesis or dissertation proposal for approval, before they start researching and writing their paper. Although the length of such proposals vary, 10 to 15 pages is fairly standard and this also includes a bibliography.
The bibliography is one of the most important components of such a proposal. You must demonstrate that you are familiar with the existing literature on the topic, as well as with the location of any primary, archival sources. You do not need to have read this material, but you must know what is available. Dissertation committees will often spend quite a lot of time examining your bibliography, so you should also be sure that it is not only complete, but properly formatted as well.
Your proposal should also include a section where you examine what other people have written about your topic and related fields, and you must be sure to demonstrate how your approach and methodology will be different. You should also indicate your line of argument, or your hypothesis, even though this may change during the course of your research.
More than anything else, your proposal serves to show the university that you are capable of doing serious, thoughtful scholarly research and that you have a good grasp of your topic.
