How to cite a work in an anthology

As already seen above if you want to cite a poem, a short story, an essay etc. in an
anthology, or some other book collection, cite author, title and if relevant
translator of the part of the book being cited.
Example: France, Veronica “To the Painter Jacopo Tintoretto.”
If the work was originally published independently, underline, instead of putting it
in quotes.
Example: Hansberry, Lorraine. A Raisin’ in the Sun.
Name the editor, translator, or compiler if it exist, then cite the title of the
anthology with its editor and give publication information.
Example: Hansberry, Lorraine. A Raisin in the Sun. Black Theatre: A 20th Century
Collection of the Works of its best Playwrights. Ed. Lindsay Patterson. New York:
Dodd, 1971. 221-76. (221-76 means from page 221 to page 276)
Most often, the works that are found in anthologies have been published before.
If you want to inform your reader of the date of publication of the work you cited
follow the title with the date of publication and the period.
Example: Douglass, Frederick. Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass, an
American Slave, Written by Himself. 1845. Slave Narrative. Ed. Williams L.
Andrews and Henry Louis Gates, Jr. New York: Library of America, 2000. 267-368.
(267-368 means between/from page 267 to page 368)
To cite a previously published scholarly article in a collection or anthology, give
the complete date for the earlier publication and then add Rpt. in (which mean
reprinted in), the title of the collection, and the new publication facts.
Example: Halladay, Hillary. “Narrative Space in Anne Petry’s Country Place.”
Xavier Review 16(1996): 21-35. Rpt. in Twentieth Country Literary Criticism. Ed
Linda Pavlouski and Scoth Darga. Vol. 112. Detroit Gale, 2002. 356-62.
An Article in a Reference book
Treat an encyclopedia article or a dictionary entry as you would a piece in a
collection; but do not cite the editor of a reference work. If the article is signed,
give the author first,(often articles in reference works are signed with initials
identified elsewhere in the work. e.g. in the intice). If it is unsigned, give the title
first. If the encyclopedia or dictionary arranges articles alphabetically, you may
omit volume and page numbers.
When citing familiar reference books especially those that frequently appear in
new editions, do not give full publication information.
Example: Mohanty, Jitendra M. “Indian Philosophy.” The New Encyclopedia
Britannica: Macropaedia. 15th ed. 1987
“Noon” The Oxford English Dictionary. 2nd ed. 1989.
However when citing less familiar reference books, especially those that have
appeared in only one edition, give full publication information.
Exercise Alain, Anita L. “Privacy in Health Care.” Encyclopedia of Bioethics. Ed.
Warren T. Reich. Rev. Vols 5. New York: Macmillan-Simon, 1995.
An introduction, a preface, a foreword, or an afterword
To cite these, begin with the name of the author, then give the name of the part
being cited, (i.e. introduction, preface, foreword or afterword) capitalized but
neither underlined nor enclosed in quotation marks. If the writer is different from
the complete work, cite the author of the work after its title, giving the full name
after the word “by” continue with full publication information and finally the
inclusive page number.
Example: Coetzeee, J. M. introduction. The Confusions of Young Torless. By
Robert Musil. Trans. Shaun Whiteside. New York: Penguin, 2001. V-viii.
Borges, Jorge Lewis. Foreword. Selected Poems, 1923-1973. By Borges. Ed.
Norman Thomas Di Giovanni: New York: Delta-Dell, 1973. xv-xvii
