Does MLA require the author’s name in context references if you introduce his name earlier in your work?
I’m a bit unsure if I can go about exclusion of author last names in citations on my paper I’ve been writing. I’ve been writing about this for a two day period. I have to compare two characters from different anthologies. What is a good comparison? I have from the world two characters although I know these are very similar characters. I use them to introduce them at the beginning of the essay but as such have other characters or quotes from the works. I had always felt the one introduction of the author was enough to make it impossible to include the author’s name in the text citations. A peer is telling me otherwise. Where can I find more information on preparing my original class?
I’m confused by the MLA rule sites. I find some things very generic, so even more nuanced ones are good.
I have so far found none from the MLA answering your question. What did they offer?
What are some uses for “ibid. “? How do I say “”, short for “ibidem”, meaning “as already mentioned”.
The two famous quotes are “To be or…” (Shakespeare) and “There are more things…” (ibid).
And of “uut supra” meaning “as seen” before.
Citation protocols vary according to different house styles, but the key point in research is that they should be able to make it easy for the reader to track down any source on which you rely, whilst not, at the same time, impeding the reader’s flow with excessive lists of names and dates.
How would a person describe these principles to you? If (a) you have not been called up on this by your faculties and if, in your judgment, you improve the reader’s experience by omitting them, then I would continue to omit full references once you have established them in the introduction.
