Citation for The Norton Anthology

[Big Walnut AP Language Class]

I know you all have spent only a small amount of time, if any, at
school on how to write a citation. The second summer assignment asks
you to write a citation for each of the six essays/articles you read.
For that citation you should list the editor of the book where you
found the article, in this case The Norton Reader. Here's an example
(Your citations should use a hanging indent. Google groups doesn't
have the same functions as Word and did not let me use the hanging
indent here) :


Work in an anthology or compilation:

To cite a specific work in an anthology rather than the entire
anthology, indicate first the name of the author of the individual
work cited, then the title of that work, then anthology title, then
the editor's name, then the edition number, and finally the
publication information. The entry closes with the page numbers which
are occupied by the anthologized work. The abbreviations "p" or "pp"
are no longer used to indicate page numbers: simply present the page
numbers as a hyphenated range.

Laurence, Margaret. "The Loons." The Norton Anthology of Short
Fiction. Ed. R. V. Cassill. 4th ed. New York: Norton, 1990. 920-929.

Fahnestock, Jeanne. "Teaching Argumentation in the Junior-Level
Course." Teaching Advanced Composition: Why and How. Ed. Katherine H.
Adams, and John L. Adams. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann, 1991. 179-93.

You'll notice that the editor's name, unlike the author's name, is
first name followed by last name. The good thing about all this is
the last half of every citation will be the same as the others so you
can cut and paste, just don't forget to change the name of the author
and the title of the essay. Let me know if there are any questions or
if you want me to take a look at your citation before sending the
entire assignment to me.

Italicize The Norton Reader then you're perfect. --- On Mon, 7/20/09, Tina Muench <tinam...@gmail.com> wrote:

Actually, on second look the name of editor should be John C. Brereton and Linda H Peterson.   Where did you see the name Marilyn Moller?

There were a lot of different editors and I was confused. There was a list on pg iv; it said "Editor: Marilyn Moller". I really had no idea though, so thanks for your corrections!
