Features: For nearly half a century, the style of scholarly manuscripts and student papers recommended by the Modern Language Association (MLA) has been widely adopted by professional academic journals, schools, university departments, and scholars. Today, over 125 journals, literary reviews, and communications with circulations exceeding 1,000 copies, as well as numerous university presses and commercial publishers, use the MLA Style Manual. The MLA documentation style is one of the primary style guides in the United States and is also widely used in Canada and other countries. Since its publication in 1985, this book has become the standard introductory text for graduate students in the humanities, teachers, scholars, and professional writers in other fields. The eagerly awaited second edition has been extensively reorganized and rewritten, including new chapters and guidelines for citing original materials from the Internet, as well as electronic publishing standards.
