Please use MLA (author page) system:

  • These “eloquent objects” (Goring 5) gestured to the inadequacy of language to express the passions.

  • In Vic Gatrell’s words, “laughter was no laughing matter and sorely needed taming” (162).

Use an abbreviated title for primary sources when there are several references by one author:

  • According to Joyce (Finnegans Wake 501) . . . . .

  • This is what Burns suggests (“Poor Mailie’s Elegy” 23).

Use (author date, page) pour secondary sources and adapt it to your sentence if necessary:

  • Manfred Pfister points out that laughter is indeed a “litmus test in assessing the state of a given society” (2002, vi-vii).

Drama: acts, scenes, lines. Ex.: 4.1.253.

Poetry: Ex.: “Poor Mailie’s Elegy” 23.

Périodicals in modern editions: (Spectator 367, 3: 380).

Manuscripts:
Ex.: A Strange and Wonderful Miracle Wrote by God’s Great Mercy (British Library, 697 b 46).

Quotations

Quotations of less than 4 lines are inserted in the text.

Quotations in languages other than English or French follow the same rules and should appear in italics, with the translation in a note.

Quotation marks and punctuation

Use double quotation marks with punctuation inside

  • That a work of historiography composed in this way will to an uncomfortably great extent be dependent on the conditions prevalent during its production and can hardly be an “objective,” “authentic” or “true” account, is blatantly obvious.

  • They prefer to throw in their lots with him rather than with his pusillanimous “betters.”1

Imbeded quotations: simple quotation marks

Ellipses […]

Ex: In a 1997 essay, Paul A. Cantor observed: “Contemporary critics have a tendency to project contemporary issues back into literary history” (41). This tendency is especially apparent in much criticism on Tristram Shandy and has frequently led to an ahistorical excision of the text from its 18th-century contexts and to an anachronistic reading of Sterne as virtually a post-modern writer writing in the 18th century, who is celebrated for having anticipated key literary techniques of the 20th century. On the other hand, Sterne is frequently regarded as a somewhat backward and provincial conservative out of tune even with developments in his own time.

Complete sentence:

[…] On the other hand, Sterne is frequently regarded as a somewhat backward and provincial conservative out of tune even with developments in his own time.

Inside a sentence:

End of a sentence:
