What is MLA format? My professor says I need to use MLA format when creating a Works Cited page. What is that? 11/6/2018

MLA Format MLA stands for Modern Language Association. MLA format, developed by the Modern Language Association, provides the style (page layout of the essay, header, quotations, Works Cited, etc.) most instructors in the humanities require for papers. However, there are other formats such as APA (American Psychological Association) or the Chicago Manual of Style. Each format has its own set of rules. For papers in literature you must use MLA format. 11/6/2018

Rules for MLA Format The bibliography is called “Works Cited.” Double space everything on a Works Cited page. Center the title Works Cited (no bold, italics, or underlining) and place it at the top of the page. Use a “hanging indent” after the first line of each entry. 11/6/2018

OK: so what does it look like? Centered Title Works Cited Berman, Jeffrey. “The Unrestful Cure: Charlotte Perkins Gilman and ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’.” The Talking Cure: Literary Representations of Psychoanalysis. By Jeffrey Berman. New York: New York University Press, 1985. 33-59. Reprinted in Twentieth-Century Literary Criticism. Ed. Paula Kepos. Vol. 37. Detroit: The Gale Group, 1991. 198-200. Gilman, Charlotte Perkins. “The Yellow Wall-paper.” The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories. New York: Modern Library, 2000. “Hanging” Indent All text is double-spaced, and there are no line spaces between entries. 11/6/2018

More Rules for Works Cited The author’s last name is usually first in a Works Cited entry, followed by the source title(s) and publication information. Place the titles of articles, short stories, book chapters, poems, and songs in quotation marks. Underline or italicize the titles of books, plays, journals, magazines, newspapers, and films. Capitalize each word in titles, except articles, short prepositions, or conjunctions. 11/6/2018

Works Cited Entry for a Book Wow! Look at the connection!
