    I have this paper due in English tomorrow, but I cannot figure out for the life of me the proper MLA format for multiple essays used from the same source. All essays are reprints from original sources.

    I know how to do it for one, but not two or more.

    For one it is:

    Bowen, Merlin. “Captain Vere and the Weakness of Expediency.” <u>The Long Encounter</u>.
    (1960): 216-33. Rpt. in <u>Critical Essays on Melville’s</u> Billy Budd, Sailor. Ed. Robert Milder. Boston: Hall, 1989. 61-72.

    So for the second, I'm trying to figure out if I have to do the exact same thing or is it a simplified version.

    For example,

    Reich, Charles A. “The Tragedy of Justice in Billy Budd.” <u>Yale Review</u> 56 (1967): 376-
    89. Rpt. in <u>Twentieth Century Interpretations of</u> Billy Budd. Ed. Howard P. Vincent. Englewood Cliffs: Prentice, 1971. 56-66.

    Should I use the long version again or some shorter way?

    HELP!

    Wow, thanks for the link. Now I won't have to spend as much time looking up different citations for my research paper coming up.
