Q&A for How to Cite Shakespeare in MLA

It's the same as your first Shakespeare citation. It all boils down to the number of lines that you're citing.

Double-check for any information at all indicating when the page was uploaded or last edited. If it exists, use that as the date. Otherwise, skip the date in your in-text citations. For your bibliography, add the website title in italics, after all of the other information. Then, add the URL or DOI of the page (DOI is better if you have it - but if you don't know what that is, don't worry about it). Finish the citation with "Accessed" and then the date you last accessed the page, in Day Month Year format (e.g. "Accessed 16 May 2020").

You must always cite using the most recent updated referencing system for your academic category. English is MLA 8th edition. Most universities have referencing guides on the websites which are accessible to the public. It it good practice to write it by hand so you gain muscle memory for the correct layout. Alternatively, if you are short of time there are referencing websites that have engines which will generate the reference for you, you only need to supply the book's details.

To being plays in to standard with the rest of MLA format, in which Arabic numerals are always used except for fore-matter in a book that uses Roman numerals as page numbers.
