1 MLA Format For In-text citation

2 In-Text Citations: the Basics
An in-text citation is a brief reference in your text that indicates the source you consulted. It should direct readers to the entry in your works-cited list for that source. It should be unobtrusive: provide the citation information without interrupting your own text. In general, the in-text citation will be the author’s last name (or abbreviated title) with a page number, enclosed in parentheses.

3 Author-Page Style Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967

4 Print Source with Author
For the following print source Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. U of California P, 1966. If the essay provides a signal word or phrase—usually the author’s last name—the citation does not need to also include that information.
