Length: 3-5 full pages, MLA format

This is what individual anthology entries on your Works Cited page (completely separate page, with MLA-style pagination at top right) should look like: (the formula, then examples)

Last Name of Author, First and (if any) Middle Name of Author. Title of Work within

the Anthology (in quotation marks if a short story or a poem, underlined or 

italicized if a play). The Full Name of the Anthology (underlined or italicized) 

followed by the edition. Translator (Trans., only if the original work was not 

written in English; first name first; if more than one, alphabetical by last name). 

Editor (Ed., first name first; if more than one, alphabetical by last name). City 

of Publication: Publishing Company, Latest Copyright Date. Pages that the 

work occupies within the anthology (numbers only). 

(Notice how the entries are listed alphabetically according to the author’s last name, and how they are reverse indented; that is, indented the opposite of how you indent a paragraph, with only the first line NOT indented.)
