MLA (Modern Language Association) Style is widely used in the humanities, especially in literature. The Modern Language Association of America (MLA) is the publisher of the MLA Style manual. Typically, components include in-text citations and the Works Cited list. Do consult the Library's copy of the MLA Handbook or the online MLA Style Center for details.
If you use the MLA style, you must include a Works Cited page at the end of your research paper.
The following examples are in the MLA Style (9th edition):
