Bibliography Styles Handbook     

MLA Format:
Second work by same author in a bibliography entry

When a person has authored (or edited or translated or compiled) more than one text, typical bibliography entries will appear as follows:

Fee, Elizabeth, ed. Women and Health: The Politics of Sex in Medicine. Farmingdale, N.Y.: Baywood Publishing Company, Inc., 1982.

Fee, Elizabeth, and Daniel M. Fox, eds. AIDS: The Burdens of History. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1988.

---. AIDS: The Making of A Chronic Disease. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1992.

Hall, Stuart. "Cold, Comfort, Farm." New Socialist Nov. 1985: 10-12.

---. "Thatcherism-- A New Stage?" Marxism Today Feb. 1980: 22-27.

Hall, Stuart. et al. Policing the Crisis. Basingstoke: Macmillan, 1979


If an author or authors have their names on more than one text, check to see if the authorship of both texts is identical. If--and only if--the authors are in fact identical, then the listing for the second entry should be replaced with: three hyphens and a period. Continue the entry after two spaces. If a person was a single author of one text but joint author of another, then each entry must list the person's name in full.
