How would i put this in mla format?

Question

West, Ray B., Jr. "Atmosphere and Theme in 'A Rose for Emily'." pp. 65-73. Swisher, Clarice (ed. and introd.). Readings on William Faulkner. San Diego, CA: Greenhaven, 1998. 190 pp.


I need to put this in my bibliography. Its all one book. What is the correct mla bibliography format?

Answer 1

First of all, in MLA it isnt called a bibliography - its called works cited. Secondly visit MLA's site for a description of how to site every kind of material.

\\http://www.mla.org/cgi-shl/docstudio/docs.pl

Every student should keep that site bookmarked - you will need it many times when writing papers. Pax - C.

Answer 2

You're practically there. If I remember my MLA correctly (I teach APA), it should read:

West, Ray, Jr. "Atmosphere and Theme in 'A Rose for Emily'." _Readings on William Faulkner_. Ed. Clarice Swisher. San Diego: Greenhaven, 1998. 65-73.

Readings on William Faulkner should be underlined or italicized to show it's the book title.

Hope that helps.
