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.

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.

Elaine Showalter would disagree with the
interpretation of the demonized baby that

the weight gain that was considered an
essential part of the cure was a kind of
pseudo-pregnancy” (247).
Wow! Look
at the
connection!
